2) I would like to request for leave on 10th, 11th, 12th and 13th of August

It is one continuous period of leave. So "leave."

Hi,
I'm not a teacher. But I know that after "for" you should use a noun or something in role of a noun. "leave" can be a noun.
Let's wait for teachers! ;-)

In BE, we are more likely to ask for leave of absence.

I'm a BrE speaker and I would just say "I would like to request leave on ..."
