The mortgage company can not add your name to a loan that you did not close on. However.... Several states allow companies that extend credit to hold both spouses liable if they are married at the time the debt was incurred.
I would recommend that you talk to legal counsel in your state if you are in this situation.
Since he is not listed as a borrower on the first mortgage his credit is not affected by paying or not paying that mortgage. Even if both loans are with the same company, he is only held responsible for the loan in which he signed.
Call the mortgage company and ask why the payments are not being reported (its illegal to NOT report payments) Further, you can call the credit bureaus, and they will request the information from the mortgage company. Realize, that in some instances credit reporting can be suspended.
Have pristine credit. The better your credit history is, the lower your mortgage rate will be. The worst things you can do to your credit, in the eyes of a mortgage company: 1) Not pay your bills. This is absolutely the worst thing. 2) Not use credit at all. If you never use credit, the mortgage company can't determine how you act when you do. 3) Not carry a balance. If you get a credit card, make small purchases and always pay them in full at the end of the month, mortgage companies consider that not using credit. 4) Having way too much available credit. If you have many credit cards, the mortgage company will assume you might actually use all that credit. If you DO use it all, you won't be able to pay your house payment.
There is probably no credit union or bank that will approve you when your score is that low. What on earth did you do to have such a horrible credit score? You should be ashamed of yourself.

No. Your husband has no obligations or liability regarding your mortgage.
If you are married, your husband can definitely apply for a credit card in your name. This is commonly done. Some husbands make their wives as supplement to their credit cards or apply for a separate card. So, the credit card company may not find anything wrong with what your husband did. Not unless, you and your husband are having problems, then if you have a case, better report it first to the proper authority before you approach the credit card company with your complaint or case.

You have asked a complicated legal question and the answer depends on the details and the laws in your particular jurisdiction. The answer may differ in a community property state or if the credit card debt benefitted both husband and wife. The lien may be successful depending on the aforementioned factors.
It shouldn't affect a mortgage. The mortgage will be based on the credit worthiness, the down payment, the ability to repay the loan of the people who apply for the mortgage.
