It is most likely that the credit card debt is backed by one of owners of the company. It is difficult to get a credit card using ONLY business credit. Find out from the company. I think you should be fine. The business name on the CC is not responsible in this case, it is the individual who gave it a personal backing.
nope, the business is though
opinion
depends on what you acquired read the contract it is in there ( no contract shame on you ) look for the terms DEBT , PRIOR OBLIGATION and CREDITOR
yes
no, hell no everything should be on paper, the previous owner name and etc. unless the whole transaction was verbal, no you are not liable.
I would think he has to pay up. ask your lawyer, maybe a slight change in company name may give you protection
