If, your spouse uses your information without permission you should be able to receive a note about it. When you do receive the note speak with your wife nicely and then report to the location of your information holder and ask for it to be changed.
In most cases a card holding spouse can add the other as an "authorized user" without permission, however those types of cards are not liable for repayment of the balance, even on transactions preformed on their card. It is not legal for one spouse to add the other on any credit applications has a "co-signer" without that persons permission. However, the liability would not be in the hands of the credit card company, since if you are listed as a "co-signed" and claim you did not agree, sign-up or give you spouse permission, you risk your spouse being turned over to the States Attorneys office for consideration of Credit Card and Identify Fraud.

No, it won't affect my score, she's not my wife. Just kidding. Credit may be obtained individually (even in community property states) by law. Therefore your spouse can apply without you, meaning that your information and your social security number (by which you would be reported to the credit agencies) are nowhere on the application and you will not sign the agreement. If this is how she applies, it will not affect your score.
They are usually not allowed to. There are confidentiality clauses in most bank loans, and generally, information about your financial status may not be revealed to other family members or journalists or nosy neighbors (or whoever) without your permission. If you sign a waiver, you could give another person, like a spouse, permission to know about the loan; and if the spouse or family member is a co-signer, they would of course know about it. But strangers or people to whom you did not give permission would usually not be given any of your confidential information. However, it should be noted that banks do report to credit bureaus, and if you are delinquent in your payments, that information would become part of your credit history; other agencies could access it to learn more about you when you apply for credit at some future time.
If a spouse is applying as a single account holder but using both spouse's income, the incomes will be verified. Whether each credit history will be checked is at the discretion of the lender,in most cases it will be. What effect this may have on the financial transaction is uncertain.
