Harp 2.0 Refi Process: 2nd Mortgage Subordination Agreement
As everyone here has stated, your first mortgage company will take care of it. Some 2nd mortgage companies will just add the small fee to your next mortgage statement or to your pay off. It depends on the lender. I know Citi does that, you do not have to pay the fee up front.

co-signing a mortgage
As everyone said, the lowest of the 2 mid scores. However, if one of you has a lot better credit than the other, you should consider just using that person on the loan.

Can I find a lender to give me a loan refi at 87% without PIM?
You can get Lender Paid Mortgage insurance, your rate would be slightly higher than the "par" rate. I wouldn't really recommend it because you will be paying that higher rate for the duration of the loan. If you take the loan with the monthly mortgage insurance, the PMI will eventually...
