Barite is found in southern Missouri, but is usually more associated with other rocks.
Barite is mined in the southeast part of Missouri with Galena
Barite is a common mineral found all over the globe. Locations include lead-zinc veins in limestones and in hot spring deposits and with hematite ore. It's also been found in some meteorites.
The chemical formula of barite is BaSO4. See the chapter 4 of the link below for barite geochemistry.

No, barite, also known as Barium Sulfate or heavy spar, is non-magnetic.
Barite is a mineral consisting of the compound BaSO4 (Barium Sulfate).
Barite (baryte, tiff) is not mined in North Dakota. Barite is used in oil drilling in North Dakota but must come from other states such as Nevada.

Yes. Barite is able to scratch any other mineral, or rock composed of minerals, with an equivalent or lower Mohs hardness rating (Barite: Mohs 3-3.5).
