Nothing they are exempt form seizure.
it depends on your state exemptions and what you mean by savings... for example, some states provide for 150$ of a bank account to be exempt, meaning everything else will become part of the bankruptcy estate to repay creditors.
Sure. But expect the trustee to want that money, unless the amount in the savings account was exempt. Transfers of assets otherwise available to the bankrupt estate for the purpose of filing bankruptcy is a federal crime. Consult an experienced bankruptcy lawyer, since there are permitted transfers.
Bankruptcy is a federal procedure in a federal court. What state you are in is irrelevant except for exemptions. Your 401(k) balance is exempt by federal law, but once you withdraw money from it, that money is no longer exempt, and the trustee will want it to be applied to your plan. If you withdraw it and fail to disclose that to the trustee, you may find your bankruptcy in serious trouble. Don't do it.

No, it is an asset and must be disclosed.
Student loans are exempt from bankruptcy as are IRS debts
While registered pension plans [RPPs] are exempt from seizure in bankruptcy situations, most Registered Retirement Savings Plans [RRSPs] are not.
In most cases you will not lose your home during your bankruptcy case as long as your equity in the property is fully exempt. Even if your property is not fully exempt, you will be able to keep it, if you pay its non-exempt value to creditors in chapter 13.
