The convertor gets very hot shortly after you start your vehicle. It ensures that no unburned fuel is realeased into the atmosphere. There is an oxygen sensor in front of and behind it to measure the amount of carbon and other polutants and any excess unburned fuel. These sensors send a signal to the engine computer and make adjustments to the fuel air ratio. SO basically the catalytic convertor is the big player in controlling your vehicles polution.

If it is bad, yes. States that have vehicle inspections would notice right away the loud sound and leaking gases and not pass it without replacement. It's not at all cheap, however. You may want to have a mechanic look at it to make sure it's bad.
