An unmagnetized piece of iron has its atoms pointing in different directions, and opposing each other. When the iron is magnetized, the atoms are mostly pointing in the same direction, and the fields add together.
A non-magnetized piece of iron would capture the magnetic particles.
Iron is naturally magnetized.
No. Only a hand-full of metals can be magnetized, for example iron, nickel and cobalt.
Unless one or both iron nails are magnetized, then nothing will happen. If one nail is magnetized, then the other nail will be attracted to the magnetized nail.
The iron shavings get temporarily magnetized, due to the influence of the magnet. Thus, you have two magnets attracting each other - the original magnet, and a piece of iron shaving.

if you rub metal up against a magnet for a long enough period of time it will become temporarily magnetized.

a temporary magnet is a piece of soft iron that is magnetized while in the presence of a magnetizing field but demagnetizes the moment the iron is taken away from the magnetizing force
It will stick to either pole, providede that the iron is not magnetized and that it is not above the Curie temperature (the temperature above which iron can no longer be magnetized, named after Marie and Pierre Curie).
If the piece of metal is a magnet it will attract another piece of iron. You should be able to feel this attraction as the two become very close. It's magnetic field can be "seen"( that is the effect) by placing iron filings on a piece of glass and place the magnet beneath the glass. Otherwise it is not a magnet.

The not magnetized rod will be attracted by both of the magnetized rods.
