The bank will tell you - IF, in fact, you have not already received notice from the court about it.
The IRS would levy a bank account if the bank account holder had not paid his or her taxes. However, the IRS wouldn't do this unless they had exhausted all other means to collect. They would first send the taxpayer a notice that taxes had been assessed and demand payment. It the taxpayer ignored this notice the IRS would send another notice letting the taxpayer know it was their intention to levy his or her bank account, or other property. This would be sent 30 days before they actually levied the account. Don't ignore letters from the IRS!!

A court levy is actually put in place by a court, the bank is required by law to comply with the court. The reason the court may have put a levy on your account is usually due to an unpaid debt.

Yes, a creditor can garnish wages even if a levy was lifted on the account. This would require a judgment and the court documents.

If you are the joint-owner of the account you have already have access to the money so there is no reason to levy it. If you are not the joint-owner then you can't levy the money in the account, only the money paid to him via his paycheck. The levy would cause his employer to divert some of the funds that it pays to him, before he receives it.
no
You get fined a fee by the bank, your account is frozen, and they will probably come after your paycheck through garnishment (even if the levy is removed) Levy is a step, garnishment follows.
Yes, a levy on a checking account will be notated to chexsystem or a similar system. Anything that involves your checking account in a negative way will be shared in a reporting system.
Yes, in Texas, an attorney can place a levy on a bank account as a means to enforce a default judgment on an unsecured credit account. This levy allows the attorney to collect the specified amount owed from the debtor's bank account to satisfy the judgment.
