Can I get a secured credit card while in bankruptcy?

It would be up to the creditor to decide whether or not to accept you as a customer. Nothing in bankruptcy law prohibits you from doing this. However, some Chapter 13 Plans prohibit you from taking out any additional debt and this could be an issue of whether or not the secured credit card is in fact a debt.

Bankruptcy lawyer at Steven J. Alpers, A Professional Corporation
The creditors will come after you if there are joint accounts for payment in full. If they are her separate debts you are okay. Each state has different exemption laws contact a lawyer where you are buying the house.

Can the lean holder file suit against the co-signee?

Sure, if there has been a default in payments on a loan that has been co-signed, the lender is free to pursue the co-signer alone...which is why creditors often require a co-signer.
