The Moon only ever rises in the East. Rising 2 hours before sunrise it would be best seen from mid-September to mid-November.. It would be a narrow crescent with the bright side towards the Sun's position.

Which moon is setting in the west a couple of hours before sunrise?

The waning gibbous phase of the Moon. Think of it this way. The full moon rises at sunset, and sets around sunrise. The Moon's apparent motion in the sky is "backwards"; everything seems to move east to west, but from evening to evening, the Moon seems to be moving west to east. So the phase of the Moon that sets a couple of hours before sunrise is the waning gibbous moon, about 3 days past the full.
