Nothing. The primary is all that is concerned. If signer and co-signer are, were, or will be married - that's different. If either the co-signer or the signer is or was dependent to the other, that's different too, but only if it is regarding your current income. Basically, if you pay the bills, you have good credit.

They will want the money from the co-signer. In my case, my car was repossesed and my mom was my co-signer and she had to file bankruptcy too. The lender will sell the car in an auction and your co-signer will be responsible for the difference between what you owed and what is was sold for. Got it?
The co-signer would then be liable.

Depends- if it was a chapter 7, then the bank can sue the co-signer for the full amount. If it iwas a chapter 13, the creditor is prevented from taking any action against the co-signer for any consumer debt.
That's an issue that has to be decided by the court, the lender and the exemption status of the property.
