Mercury does, despite its small size, have a magnetic field, and the planet is approximately a magnetic dipole (meaning the field has only two magnetic poles). Data from the space probe Mariner 10 led to its discovery in 1974, at which time the probe measured the strength of the magnetic field to be about 1.1% of that of earth, but it's strong enough to divert solar radiation and therefore creates a magnetosphere around the planet.

Mercury, although it does posses some interesting physical and chemical properties, should not be attracted to a magnet. It is considered to be diamagnetic, which means it would actually oppose a magnetic field and repel. If you have more questions on mercury or diamagnetism.
