Or will the loan officer tell the co-signer about my credit report?

No only you and the loan officer have the right to look at your credit report. Anything else would be a violation of the privacy laws.
Always remember, if you co-sign for a loan the pay history will be reported on your credit. If it's good your score will go up, if it's bad your score will go down.
Also if the primary buyer defaults on the loan, you will be responsible for paying it.

DO NOT co-sign with any person for any reason. If the friend or family member cannot get credit on their own, please let that be a sign to you. So many relationships have been destroyed by co-signing. Sure, we want to help others but if you cannot afford to give the person the item you intend to co-sign for, don't do it. When you co-sign you are assuming the liability with your assets and income so the person you're signing for really doesn't have to pay the debt. What if they cannot? job loss? medical reasons? Can you afford to take over the financial obligation? If you can, go for it. If it would be a struggle, just apologize. Most loan officers can be highly creative in helping people higher interest loans that will at least get you off the hook. Seriously, think about what you're asking.

The loan officer is going to tell you if you are approved for the loan or not. They can't tell anyone what your credit is like. And nobody but you and anyone who runs your credit has access to your credit report.

The lender has access. The person you are cosigning for does not, and the lender is not allowed to discuss your credit with the person you're cosigning for.

No.
Don't cosign unless you are able to pay when they don't.
This seems like the right thing to do at the time, but it will eventually ruin your credit, believe me.
