    I'm not sure, but I think this would be fraud on her part.
    No question about it. She is providing false documentation to deceive the landlord about her son's qualifications for the apartment. That's fraud.

    I'm wondering if I am at risk criminally or civilly for having my address on the fake W-2 form, and for having my name and address on the rental application.
    You might. If you had no involvement in this other than she used your address then you aren't guilty of the fraud. The question is whether the police and prosecutor would believe that you did not have some active role in all this.

    Might want to consider whether you want to stay in a relationship with a woman who apparently has no qualms about deceiving others to get what she wants. That could end up biting you some day.

    The fact you are aware of the fraud where you are represented as the employer is not in itself criminal but it surely looks bad for you. How you treat any inquiry the landlord might make is what would implicate you in the crime. If the landlord contacts you are you going to say you aren’t an employer and you did not issue the W2? A non- response where you allow the landlord to believe the info might be true is problematic for you as well.
