You can't do anything because you are married. But you should immediately close your account, getting all the money out, and open a new account at a different bank in your name only. Then, file for legal separation so that she can't run up debt on you. Legal separation prevents that because otherwise you are responsible for her running up debts as long as you are married. Also close all your credit cards and get different ones in your name only. If you think she'll show up to try to get more money and stuff from you, get a P.O. Box so she can't intercept your mail, change the locks too.
These things you do immediately, then start the divorce process.

You are the legal owner/payee of the check and if someone else cashes it, it is a crime. You can raise a legal complaint against the person (if you know who did it) or if you don't know who did it, you can raise a formal complaint with the bank and they will help you identify the fraudster and then you can raise a complaint against them. You have the right to claim the payment that was due to you through the check.
Can you deposit an unsigned check made out to your husband and you into your bank account?

If seller accepts check and cashes check for purchase of a house is this binding?
In the United States, all contracts for real property must be in writing to be legal. Different states have other provisions. If the seller cashed a check without any signed paperwork attached, it may not be binding. If the seller cashed the check and there was signed paperwork, and it was legal under the laws of that area, it probably was binding.
