Depending on when your bankruptcy is filed, on the day it was filed, the wage garnishment must stop. If it didn't stop on that day, you are entitled to have your garnished wages refunded. However, no wages will be refunded prior to your bankruptcy filing date.

You don't- the creditor gets to keep what he has garnished up to that point. If you file BK, the BK trustee might force the creditor to return some or all of that money. But even if that happens, that returned money will be re-distributed to all your creditors- you personally would not be getting that money back.
