If you are still considered married and have separated all year, then you can file as Married Filing Jointly, Married Filing Separately or may even qualify as Head of Household if you have a dependent child living with you and meet certain conditions.
If you file as Married Filing Separately or as Head of Household, her name won't appear on the IRS refund check.

I assume you will file as married filing separately. There isn't a status of "separated".
Any refund from your separate return will come with just your name on it, or you can have it direct deposited into your bank account.

If you file separate then she has no right to any monies that you paid in. You will have to file married still (vs. single) but it makes it so that you are not responsible for ANY of her tax debt and that she has no rights to your tax refunds.

no, not if you file married filing seperately, but unfortunately you will end up owing more tax than you would if you were filing married and jointly--generally!

Nope.

No. 1 taxpayer, 1 name.
You do have to indicate who she is on your form since the IRS will check that both of you follow the MFS rules. If you itemize, she itemizes; if you take the standard deduction, she does too.
