That filter is likely plugged. It isn't really needed as long as you have clean fluid so you could just run a longer piece of hose and bypass it. If you want to replace it many of the parts stores sell a universal one or can look up a filter to fit it. That filter is in the return line, as is the cooler. Easy way to tell is to look at the way they are attached, that small crimp clamp shows low pressure.
It looks like you might have tried to bypass the filter and had those lines come apart, that can be a sign that the line you are using is too small or the power steering lines (ones with multiple hose clamps) have swelled. I would probably go to the clamps where those lines attach to the steel lines, use a pair of side cutters or a grinder and remove the clamps and run a new rubber return line, use high pressure line like you can get for hydraulic lines and use clamps rated for fuel injection or if you are good with tools you could expand the crimped ears on the OE clamps and then crimp those back in place.
