Since you're filing a joint tax return with your husband you will indeed claim Pennsylvania as your state of residence, despite having never lived there!
Since you have no real affiliation with any state that makes the most sense. He has to file and pay US taxes normally because he's earning money as though he were still in the US.
You are not. You will take a credit on your federal tax return for taxes paid to Germany for the money that you earned there. So make sure to file your German taxes first before your US return.
You have to have an affiliation with a state to file a joint tax return which will get you the best possible refund.
