My sister and I are wondering as long as we agree to pay the debt she was passing, could we just do that without having anything else added?

I am assuming by your question that it was a Chapter 13 case. In that event what you do next depends on whether she left an estate or not. If she did not leave any estate (IE no money/property/etc) then you probably don't have a reason to keep paying because you would not be liable for the debt, only the estate is. If she did leave an estate then you should consult an attorney to see if it is better to keep paying or to apply for a hardship discharge.

Do I simply have to return the car and forfeit the down payment or is it a more complicated legal issue if the cosigner suddenly refuses to sign?

Contact the seller and see what they want to do. They may decide to waive the cosigner or tell you to get another one. Unless they can point to a written policy or fine print in your sales agreement about forfeiting the return, you should ask for a refund.

It is impossible to tell what you are asking. He does not need your permission to file. The title of the house, and other questions, however are subject to whatever the dissolution decree did.
