Does neutron interact with electro-magnetic field?

Yes, it most certainly does!

it appears to have no monopole moments or an electric dipole, but it most certainly does have a magnetic dipole and E&M quadrupole moments.

The electromagnetic structure of the neutron has been probed by various means including deep inelastic scattering which is one of the reasons we believe that neutrons (and all baryons) are made up of quarks, which all carry charge.

Electromagnetic fields only affect charged particles. A neutron is charge-less therefore it does not interact with an electromagnetic field.

No! No charge.
