Yes magnetism is inherent property of object. Its caused by the spinning of electrons of the object which are its inherent property so even if that object is away from earth magnetic field its electrons wont stop spinning and so its magnetism will remain as it was.

gravity is the weakest force in the universe (i know it is hard to fathom that when you take a spill or drop something but it is true). the magnets you speak of are attracted to metal counter-parts. the attraction of ions, protons to one another - balances by electrons, makes this attraction stronger than all of gravity anywhere. ok. try this. of course, now a small refrig magnet won't cut it but if you can, get a strong magnet, lie on your back with some distance away and let the magnet go. the attraction towards the large metal object defies gravity here on earth. also, think of the junk yards where they grab & raise metal car frames, defy gravity, lift them off the earth w/little or no resistance... no, no my friend. magnetism, gravity and the universe are somewhat inter-related but do not cancel out. how do planets stay together, in orbit, around the sun, huh? why don't they fly off & fall apart? huh? yep! magnetism!

Of course. Non-powered magnetism is created by the polar alignment of iron, cobalt and nickel atoms in a magnet, nothing to do with gravity.

Yes. The innate magentism of the materials used is independent of gravity and independent of the Earth's own magnetic field.

Yes, magnetism and gravity are completely different forces. Magnetism is generated my moving electrical charges. Gravity is generated by mass.

The orientation of the molecules of the magnet are the only factor that determines their magnetic properties,so their magnetism would remain no matter where they were.

Yes. Magnets do not need gravity to work.
