It is not possible; it takes a black hole to bend light waves.

Light is electromagnetic radiation. That is to say it has time-varying electric and magnetic fields. It takes something other than making it travel in circles to generate a constant magnetic field. A coil of wire carrying direct current will do the job, though.

No. Photons have no magnetic moment - electrons do.

Not a chance.
