Normally, (virtually always), one of the first actions, very soon, (days) after filing the court and creditors will approve for all prepetition payroll to be paid in full (maybe up to an individual high limit).

There is no law that requires you to notify your employer that you have filed bankruptcy. It is a public record, though, so it will show up on a background check.
Check with your bankruptcy lawyer.

No. No state has ever filed for bankruptcy. States are not coverd by current U.S. bankruptcy laws.
Garnished funds will NOT be returned to you. If it was a significant amount, the bk Trustee can claw back that money and use it to pay your creditors. Otherwise, that money is gone.
