Ok so the window is stuck down in my Civic. The window has come out of the front track. Does anyone know how hard this is to fix? And are any replacement parts needed?

My father and I fixed his in under an hour. The hardest part was finding all the screws to take the panel off (hint, remove the speaker, there are some there, too).
Do it -- you'll feel really good about it once it is done.
Find the screws, move the track out of the way, put the window back in track, tighten up the bolts. Buy a can of Syl-Glide from NAPA.
I'm in the process of repairing the rear window lift of my 4-Runner. It's so rusty in there the lifty channels rusted away. It's a 1994, this is my second trip down that road.

Happens to me on my 99Si once every 2 years or so. IT was the only real design flaw in that generation Civic.
Pull off the door panel, there's a bolt at the front bottom corner that tightens/loosens the track--loosen it, put the window back in the track, tighten.
You'll have to do it a few times before you get it perfect, so don't put the door panel back on until you've taken the window up and down a bunch of times.
I've done this fix in a Target parking lot mid-road trip and in front of my mother-in-law's house during a snow storm (put the window down to clear off my rear-view and it didn't go back up)
