No. Charcoal is mostly carbon (90% or so). The only metals that are magnetic as such are nickel, cobalt and iron, although a lot of alloys can also be.
Water can also react to electical fields, because the molecule is not symmetric, which is not the case for carbon atom.

No. Charcoal and flawless crystals of graphite have no magnetic properties.
However there is some indication that flawed graphite crystals can create a magnetic dipole moment. This seems to be a property of the flaw rather than the actual carbon atoms.
Nanotubes may also have some magnetic properties. That is not clear yet.
However the QM expectations are that Carbon is not magnetic.

No. Charcoal once was wood, a non-magnetic material.

Ferrous metals are attracted to magnetic fields. Ferrous metals can themselves become magnetic if they are placed in a strong magnetic field.
Charcoal is a carbon based material and does not have metal in it.

It isn't ferromagnetic, so no.
