No...magnets remain magnetized because this is a property of how their atoms are oriented internal to the magnet. Magnetism in a normal magnet does not have anything to do with Earth's magnetic field.
However, the shape of the magnet's field can be affected by the properties of the medium in which it sits. In space, this medium is a pure vacuum, and has no effect, however, if the magnet were suspended in a dielectric medium, the shape of its field would be altered by the magnetization of the atoms within the medium.

Yes they do. Gravity doesn't play a part. Only the magnetic field of the earth does but the change is minor

Yes. Gravity is not necessary, nor is the Earth's magnetic field. Besides, there are magnetic fields in space.

yesss. its the force between the two magnet bars . indeed the force of attraction would increase.

yeah they are basic property. So it does not depend upon the matter. Only thing is that the effect may not be visible without the matter. thats all. any other question?

Yup they sure do . . . . . .the magnetic properties of a substance isn.t affected by the surrounding matterial . . . . . . . . .thus its the same everywhere
