Alkali Metals (Group 1) elements experience an increase in the vigour of their reaction in water as they go down the group (as the atomic number increase). As such the most reactive Alkali Metal would be FRANCIUM, which is at the base of Group One.
Quite frankly, you do not want Francium to react with water- that's a huge explosion on your hand.

1) The metal which reduces the other compound is the one higher in the reactivity. So in this case it is .
2) The substance which brings about reduction while itself getting oxidised (that is losing electrons) is called a reducing agent. Here, $\mathrm{Zn}$ is the reducing agent and reduces Cobalt Oxide to Cobalt while itself getting oxidised to Zinc oxide.
