The breaker pictured trips with nothing plugged into the circuit. It is able to be reset and stays reset for several days, but trips again. When resetting, It is slow to do so and does not snap into place like the other 15 amp breakers pictured leading me to believe it has failed. I have searched for replacements and visited local retailers and gotten conflicting answers concerning compatibility between QAF/QAF2/QAF2N. What replacement breaker do I need?

Thanks

It appears to be a Siemens type QAF. Just remove the breaker and take it to Lowe’s or Home Depot and make sure they have a breaker that matches yours. Worst case go to your local Electrical Supply Store with the breaker to make sure they have the proper breaker. Good luck and welcome to the forum.
