Yes for sure, you can obtain your credit score for $6.42 at any singpost office

If you are going to a bank to enquire about a loan they might even give you your report for free. HSBC SG does it online it seems (i have not tried this)

Yes, the credit score evaluates your current debt situation and the probability of default. This is commonly used whenever one apply for a loan.
