NO... magnets do not work anywhere. They are excluded by practically every employment law, and from present records not one of the lazy so-and-so's has ever even applied for a job.
PS. I didn't realise there were any job vacancies on the moon.. I will check the local paper more carefully next thursday.

As long as the magnet is inside the magnetic field of a magnetic object it will still be prone to the magnetic forces (attract and repel) a magnet does not need an atmosphere to work.

Yes, there is no reason to suppose that they won't work.
I think the moon landings would have been a bit of a problem if magnets didn't work. The lunar explorer with its electric motors would not have moved.
They do not require an atmosphere and having less gravity will make no difference.

Yes they do. In fact, much of our equipment depends on magnetism behaving the same in space as it does on Earth.

Unless they are somehow demagnetized, they will always work. Motors use magnets and the space shuttle has plenty of motors in it that are used during the missions. The motor on cooling fans on computers and the motors on the air circulation are examples.

Yes; magnets do not require an atmosphere to work.

Magnets work everywhere.

magnets have their own magnetic fields so yes they will work

Yes. They don't need air to work.

Last time I was there I had no problems with the fridge stickers.
