This is DIjkstra implementation on 2D matrix, each time checking for 4 directions (Up, down, left, right)

What are the time and space complexities for this code? Why?

int minimumCostPath(vector<vector<int>>& grid)

Well Djikstra with priority queue is $$$O(m log n)$$$, so in your case it must be $$$O(mn log(mn))$$$

Because number of edges is $$$O(mn)$$$ (4 per cell and 3 for sides, 2 for corners) and number of nodes are $$$mn$$$
