The victim is the one identifying the assailant/guilty party from the line up-not in it.

Why do the police ask a crime victim to identify if that is the guy?
A victim is not just a victim. The victim will be the State's number 1 witness, as the victim of the crime. Police need an eyewitness identification of whether a person is or is not the one who committed the crime. However, usually this question is NOT spoken. Instead, the police use a lineup of innocent persons along with one suspect.

Is a person in a police lineup entitled to the right to counsel?
only if that person is being charged with a crime.
If a person doesnt file a complaint can police do so?
In the United States, criminal charges against a defendant are brought by the state, not by victim(s) of the crime. While a victim may provide a statement to the police which leads to the alleged perpetrator being charged with a crime, it is the police, not the victim, who actually file the charges, and the district attorney, not the victim, who prosecute. Therefore, yes, the police can and sometimes do file charges even when the victim(s) of the alleged crime choose not to cooperate with the police. This happens, for example, in domestic violence cases, where the victim of the domestic violence may be cowed by an abusive partner or spouse into not pressing charges, but the police might still pursue them.
Can a victim search your house together with the police?
Yes
