1. Probable cause, meaning if an officer can immediately see, touch, taste, hear, or smell, witness to an illegal or suspicious activity or object he can just walk in and arrest you, regardless of where you are within the respective jurisdiction of city police, state police, or federal law enforcement. When law enforcement doesn't have jurisdiction or solid evidence they can get a search warrant from a judge, and they are limited to discovering something only in rooms or properties specified, and being of the nature of what they think you have. If an officer can't witness the illegal activity taking place, they can convince a judge that they have probable cause by evidence, or observations/circumstances that are of a nature that could persuade a judge to issue a warrant. However, if an officer were to arrest you without solid evidence to any crime the case will be thrown out at the presiding judge's discretion. Even if a warrant let an officer onto the property to search a shed, and incriminating evidence was found inside the house, without the officer being invited in, the case would be thrown out for violation of the 4th.

2. The second is the US Patriot Act.

In most circumstances the police must have a warrant before they can conduct a search which amendment applies to this scenario?

The Fourth Amendment requires searches and seizures to be "reasonable", which generally means that police must get a search warrant if they want to conduct a legal search or seizure, although there are exceptions to this general rule. If a search or seizure is "unreasonable" and thus illegal, then police cannot use the evidence obtained through that search or seizure in a criminal trial. This is called the exclusionary rule and it is the primary incentive against government agents violating your Fourth Amendment rights.
