Is a person who is only listed as an authorized user on a credit card but never used it liable for the debt if the primary holder files bankruptcy?
No. An authorized user is not responsible for credit card debt in any situation. Sorry, I failed to mention that the exception is if the "AU" is a spouse and the couple reside in a community property state. What if the authorized user charged on the card? Would he be held responsible for that?

No but if something happens to the card-holder, like dieing or being arrested, the authorized signer will be made responsible.
Can an authorized user on a credit card account use the card of the primary card holder?
Yes. The point of having an authorized user is for that person to be able to use the credit card of the primary card holder. Usually when an authorized user is created, specific limits (amounts, number of transactions, merchant types, etc.) are set up. Sometimes the authorized user is given a card in their own name and that card may even have a different card number so usage may be tracked by the card company and the primary card holder.

You were an authorized user on your mothers account not a card holder and after her bankruptcy a collection agency is harassing you?
If you are an authorized user then it is not your debt but your mother's debt. Your mother's bankruptcy discharged (wiped out) the debt in question. The collection agency is not allowed to collect from you as, again, it is not your debt. This would not be the case if you were a joint debtor with your mother.
If you are an authorized user on a credit card and the primary holder dies are you resonsible for the debt?

It depends if the secondary card holder is a "Joint Account Member" or a "Authorized User". The joint account member is responsible for the balance, the authorized user is not.

Yes, authorized users typically receive their own card linked to the primary account holder's account.
