Yes. If you look at the formula for the magnetic field-strength of attraction between two bodies, the formula doesn't contain the gravitational constant "g".

With respect to what? Gravity varies only with distance from other masses. The magnetic field is affected by the magnetic susceptibility and permeability of the material, by moving charges, and by changing electric fields. See Maxwell's Equations. Both vary, but the gravitational field varies more simply.

No, all things are variant including magnetism, or magnetic field strength, only observations appear to be relative.

In space, then, magnets won't work any differently
