I will answer you when Im back home from work, in about 5 hours.  Unless others come in with lotsa of advice, of course.

During the time, please describe more how you do have it - why cant  you scope her and take home, for one example. Or if you have some room where you can keep her in the beginning.

It sounds like you may need to trap her with a humane trap and get her to the vet soon.  Her leg sounds like it needs medical attention.  You can call your local humane society and see if they have any humane traps you can borrow.  If you can pick her up, you can do so and place her instead in a cat carrier and then to the vet.

She needs a flea treatment that the vet can help with too.  You also want to be sure that she is spayed so that you will not have more cats coming soon.
