Maybe, without knowing the state of residency it is not possible to give a more definitive answer. Each state establishes it's own banking regulatory laws. Some states do not allow the levy of joint accounts, others allow savings and loans and credit union accounts to be levied but not banks, and so on. You would need to consult the laws of the state in which you live to find out what applies in your circumstances. A simpler way would be to contact the credit union and ask them how an account levy would affect joint account holders.
no
You can't because legally you are completely unrelated persons. The only way you could would be if the credit card was connected to a joint bank account.
Do you never return what you borrow?
Yes, as long as your listed as a "Co-signer" on the account. Credit is not build if you are just an "Authorized User" if this was a credit card account. Lastly, this all assumes that whatever this joint-account is that it reports to credit.
Yes, joint bank accounts are subject to garnishments or levy for debts of any or all of the account holders and regardless of who puts the money in.

Yes. The account is considered a joint account and both individuals can deposit as well as withdraw funds from the account. There is no restriction as to the individual or individuals with whom one can make a joint account.

Yes, joint bank accounts are subject to garnishments or levy for debts of any or all of the account holders and regardless of who puts the money in.

If this relates to a joint account holder or cosigner, then yes the person's credit rating will be affected by a repossession. Yes, whoever's name the car is in will be affected by the car's repossession. Only if the car is somehow tied to the account. Only a bad payment history on that joint account can affect your credit.
In most states, creditors can garnish any account joint or not as long as the person they are trying to collect from is on that account. Sorry. The non debtor account holder should supply proof of the amount of funds held in the account that belongs to them. The court will then decide which funds are subject to levy. An exception to the levy of joint accounts is if the account is held by a married couple in a state that recognizes Tenancy By The Entirety of personal property, in such a case, the account cannot be levied when only one spouse is the debtor.
