Looks like Delta/Peerless, I think.
But that part in the first pics looks weird.
I’m not used to seeing that extra bit on the end, with a second small plastic ball.
You can get a rebuild kit with two new little springs and rubber boot valve seals.
There are two or three generations of that faucet guts.
The biggest difference is how the little ball looks, that is attached to the short metal rod you see sticking out of the valve body.
Some are brass, or plastic, or have different shapes.
If in doubt, buy several different types, and bring back what you don’t need.
Clean all the crud and calcium out of the valve body, while you have it all apart.
Goop up all the new parts with plumbers’ valve grease, it is silicone based and helps everything move and seal better.
Put a wet rag over the drain, or little parts will head right into it!
