Yes, it will report equally.
If one has a bad credit history, it is still possible to get a mortgage. If one cosigns for a loan with someone else, they have a better chance. One should also attempt to improve their credit. Wells Fargo, Quicken Loans, and many other places offer mortgages.

Generally speaking no. Cosigners are needed for a purpose, and most often it is because the primary debtors has bad credit.
It will be reported to the credit bureaus under both names, but will have a greater effect on the primary borrower's report. If payments are made on time, it will never indicate which party actually made the payment.
