Your debt is now to the credit card company, and you owe it whether the merchant is in business or not.
No. Backruptcy will always appear on your credit. After 7-10 years your credit will be as good as someone who has not filed bankruptcy.
The merchant has no liability. The purchaser/debtor may have problems discharging such a recent purchase debt, unless it was for necessities (food, clothing, shelter, medical care) and may be denied a discharge for all debts if this is a pattern with other creditors as well.
Chapter 7 will stay on your credit report for 10 years from the date bankruptcy was filed. Chapter 13 typically stays on your credit report for 7 years from the date the bankruptcy was filed, however, can remain on your credit report for 10 years.
If your partner files for bankruptcy and you don't then the bankruptcy will not appear on your credit report. But you will be partly responsible for before bankruptcy filing. Generally filing bankruptcy will affect the credit rating of the individual who filed it.

When you have filed Bankruptcy.

Yes. It will show that you filed bankruptcy and that the bankruptcy was dismissed.
10 years
Yes. I co-signed for an auto loan and the other borrower filed bankruptcy without notifying me. I was in the process of buying a home and before I went to settlement they pulled my credit again and her bankruptcy came up - preventing me from getting the house. So yes it will affect your credit because it will show up on your credit report that that person has filed for bankruptcy.
The only way to remove a bankruptcy from your credit report is to dispute it to the credit bureaus. The credit bureaus have 30 days under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, to verify your bankruptcy withe the court that filed it or it must be removed from your credit report.
I believe it doesn't matter what state you filed, bankruptcy is a federal matter. It will stay 10 years on credit reports!
