My husband & I live in NJ. He worked in Philadelphia and paid City wage tax. I paid Bensalem PA wage tax. Can we claim a NJ credit for both Philadelphia and Bensalem tax?

Yes, you can. NJ law is that "income subject to both New Jersey Income Tax and the wage or income tax imposed by a Pennsylvania municipality may be included in the credit calculation."

I stayed in Philadelphia city and the only income that I have is through W2. The employer withhold the city tax. Do I need to file any city tax or am I covered?
