If you didn't sign the mortgage and without your social security number being considered as basis for the loan the financial institution will not report for or against you. If you signed the note and mortgage, in the case of a default you will be responsible and a foreclosure will affect your credit record.
Credit inquires do hurt credit, but if it's for shopping around for the same type of loan it won't hurt as bad.
Your credit score is only affected if (1) your name is on the loan and (2) you are a primary borrower. However, if there is a loan that is used to secure a title (to either a boat or car), until the loan is paid off, the lender's name is on the title, not yours (unless, of course, you are lending the money that bought the vehicle).
The cosigner's credit will only be affected if the person that they cosign for defaults on the loan. The bankruptcy will not affect the cosigners credit.
It is unlikely that a bank would give a person a loan who has a credit score of 547. A good credit score for a loan would be between 700-800.
It's difficult but not impossible to get a loan with a low credit score. You may still get a loan at a higher rate of interest as the financial institution may find your profile risky due to past defaults. However, before applying for a loan always check your current credit score as it's the first step to check if your loan will get approved or not. The minimum required credit score is 750. If you have 750 and above the chances of getting a loan are higher. In case, if your score is below that then you need to improvise it and then apply for a loan. You can always reverse your bad credit score into good score by concentrating on certain parameters which had defaulted earlier such as: Payment history: 35% Amounts owed: 30% Length of credit history: 15% How many types of credit in use: 10% Account inquiries/New credit: 10% Your credit score only affects when you start defaulting on your payments. And ones your score is affected the chances of you getting unsecured loan minimises. In this case, you can start rebuilding a new credit history by applying for secured loan or credit cards. Secured loans has a positive impact on your score and also helps you to increase the score. Once you rebuild a credit history you can then think of applying for a small loan amount.

The cosigner evidently didn't have great credit either, since the loan didn't get approved. It will still reflect on the cosigners credit report that they applied for a loan. Multiple inquiries will reduce your credit score.

Yes, this is a fair credit score.
Absolutely it does! Your credit score is used by credit agencies to determine the amount of risk they are taking on. If your credit score is bad or low then you auto loan rate will be higher. However, if your credit score is good or high then your auto loan rate will be lower.
When one is trying to get a car loan, the importance of the credit score is mostly important when calculating the interest of the loan. A better credit score means a lower interest rate.
No, you can't get a loan without the bank checking your credit score. But just because you have a low credit score, this doesn't necessarily mean you can't get a car loan. You may just get a loan with a higher interest rate.
Your loan will not be affected by your spouses debt as long as you are not associated with her accounts thru those companies.
Of course. That's about the average American credit score.
