If you are married you need to file a matter in family court to deal with all of the custody and property issues between you. That being said, absent a court order if both of your names are on the title to the car you have equal rights to drive the vehicle.

It sounds like you have an attorney so he/she is going to be the best person to advise you on your steps going forward. Your attorney knows all the facts of your case.

No, you both have a right to be in the marital home unless and until the family court grants to the home to one of you in a court hearing.

It's a question for a family lawyer. I believe a family lawyer can advise you how you can resolve this issue. PLEASE don't try to handle this by yourself , or your fears may be justified.

This is a family law rather than an immigration law question. We recommend that you contact an attorney familiar with family law.
