Q: is this a 2-pin connection?

If you zoom in on picture 4 you can see that it is a 3 pin connection. I can tell you this is a super quite fan and well built.

Q: Is this fan compatible with HP Pavilion a6150y? Thanks!

It should fit. It has 3 wire plug. I don't like the power/airflow of this fan. It turns so slow it's useless. I can flick it with my finger and it will speed up. I would buy a better one next time. I should have looked at the specs and seen what the cfs or whatever its called to measure are flow.

Q: I'm looking for a Micro ATX case fan replacement. I also need the plug to be long because the power fan pins are located next to the memory card slots. Should i buy this or something else?

This would be a great fit. The cable is nice and long and well sleeved.

Q: How are case fans measured? Is it by the actual size of the fan blade, or is it the approximate width X height of the fan enclose?

The fan size is the total width of the fan housing. It is not the diameter of the fan blades.

You can locate the website using a search engine. I don't think we're allowed to link to the site from here, but you can find it.  I cannot find the box with my fans because I'm a slob. I bought the fans for future use and haven't installed yet. They go in and out of stock, so I buy them when NewEgg has them and try to keep several sizes on hand for those times "when ya just gotta have a fan!"
