I filed for an extension and as selected filing jointly. Should I expect the spouse's name show up on the extension application form?

As long as you are filing jointly, the extension covers you both as long as it includes the name and SSN of the primary taxpayer (the one listed first on the tax return).  The spouse's information is not necessary.
