Fighting between Christian and Muslim
In the fourth crusade the Christian Byzantine Empire was attacked by Italian sailors (the Venetians). It was not a true crusade; no Muslim powers were attacked.
The main difference between the First Crusade and the Second Crusade is that the Christian forces successfully captured Jerusalem and surrounding lands in the First Crusade and experienced heavy losses in the Second Crusade. Both crusades were formed to reconquer Muslim lands that had been previously Christian and/or Jewish.

Main muslim leader of the crusade was Ṣalāḥ ad-Dīn Yūsuf ibn Ayyūb, or Saladin
There was not a unified leader of the Muslims. The Muslim peoples were split into a number of different groups, and not one collective body. Leaders that were important in the First Crusade from the Muslim side would probably be Kilij Arslan and Danishmend.
Saladin was not in a crusade. He was a great Muslim commander who fought against the crusades of the christians who ruled Jerusalem.
They went on the second crusade to retaliate against the Muslim counterattack in the Holy Land.
