Are the B2 and F117 equipped with chaff and flare dispensors for emergency
use, or do they rely completely on stealth?

Also, would using such systems in an emergency actually do more harm than
good by revealing the position of the aircraft?


Yes, they are equipped with Chaff and Flare dispensers, and no they
wouldn't do more harm then good. If you need to you them, then your
position has already been revealed, because that means there is a
missile inbound.
