If your bank account has been seized because of a debt you owe, you should call and work out a payment arrangement with the creditor. You should also start a new bank account.
Generally, yes. If the state where you owe taxes has already put in a garnishment request to the IRS, then any federal refunds issued to either of you will be garnished to pay the debt. If you also owe money to the IRS they will keep it first. If you owe money to other agencies, the refund may also be used to pay those debts as well. You can only submit an injured spouse claim to split a refund if only one person owes the debt that is being garnished. If you both owe the debt, then you are both equally liable for all of it.

An offer in compromise represents the most a person could be expected to pay of what taxes they owe. It allows a person to settle their tax debt with the IRS for less than the full amount they owe.
If the debt is in writing and you only have a verbal clearance of it, then I would suggest that the debt is still owed. The spouse might not have the authority to write off the debt. You need to get the spouse or the person owed to sign a document to the effect that the debt is no longer outstanding.
