So sorry for your loss. Did you file joint returns with your spouse in past years? If so you should be using that same account to file a joint return for 2022. Do you need help with getting the account and user ID? You might be able to get some help from customer support---but it will take patience.
No--your past returns will not transfer over to a new account that you set up in only your name.
For the year that your spouse died, you can still file a joint return. That way, you will get the married filing jointly standard deduction of $25,900 (+ $1400 for each spouse 65 or older) which will lower the amount of income you are taxed on.
In My Info, you will need to indicate that your spouse died. When his name is in My Info, there is a screen early in the interview that asks "Do any of these apply to [name] ?’” where you will do that, and then a drop down will appear where you can enter the date he passed.
If you have qualified dependent children you will be able to file as a qualified widow(er) for the next two years after this tax return. Post back if you need further help.
