Yes, your landlord can evict you even while you are in bankruptcy. Yes, the landlord is entitled to collect the full amount of the rent you agreed to pay, even if you later file for bankruptcy. You cannot change the contract with the landlord by filing bankruptcy. You must pay the rent or move out.

To have the bankruptcy information removed from your credit report, you need to submit a dispute to the credit bureaus who are currently reporting that information. The dismissal paperwork that you should have received from the court and/or your bankruptcy attorney will serve as proof that you in fact did not receive a bankruptcy discharge and simply filed a petition for bankruptcy protection that was later dismissed. Your written disputes should be sumitted to the credit bureaus at the addresses found on their websites (they generally have a contact us tab on their websites). They will have 30 days to investigate your claim and update the information, so the change to your credit information may not happen over night, so the sooner you get this information corrected, the better. 

It depends. If the court order is a Domestic Support Order (for support), it is non-dischargeable in bankruptcy. If it is to equalize assets, it would most likely be non-dischargeable in Chapter 7 and will likely be dischargeable in Chapter 13. You should see an attorney to review the court order to determine what effect, if any, bankruptcy will have on it.
