Depends who's name is on the mortgage. If both names are on, then you would need both spouse's to take out a home equity line of credit.
Your spouse's credit score should not be affected if he/she is not on the deed or on the mortgage that was foreclosed.
If a spouse has a credit card in their own name & the other spouse isn't listed on it, bad credit won't affect the second spouse. But, if you both apply for a loan or other credit - the credit bureau will check both parties credit reports.

If you are only on the title, then your credit will not be affected.
If your name is on the account you have to pay. If not, you need to send a copy of the Death Certificate.
Yes, if the loan is at the bank where the debit card was issued.
