Magnetism is the "lining up" of atoms. Iron atoms line up easily and tend to stay lined up. Rust is iron plus oxygen plus space: since there is less iron in a given volume of rust than in the same volume of solid iron, there are fewer iron atoms present to be polarized.

Do warm temperatures affect magnets?
They affect the magnetism so yes
How do electromagnets affect nearby magnets?
If an electromagnet is close enough, it will either attract or repel other magnets.
Why does iron rust but magnets don't?
Iron is composed of, as the name implies, metallic iron. This metal is prone to oxidation, which accounts for its tendency to rust. Rust chemically speaking, is hydrated iron(iii) oxide and iron (iii) oxide-hydroxide. Common household ferrite magnets, however, are not made of elemental iron metal. Instead, they consist of ceramic materials containing iron oxides. In these iron compounds, the iron has already been oxidized, so that it does not rust or react further.
Does the thickness or length of the nail affect the electro magnets strength?
yes
How does citrict acid affect metal?

Do car magnets cause rust?
Car magnets doesn't cause rust.
Do magnets attach to rust?
Magnets are attracted to anything with iron in it. Rust is Iron Oxide, so yes!
Are rusty magnets as strong as magnets that are not rusty?
The Rust affects the magnet. The magnetic energy won't work as well cause it has to work thru the rust. So no, rusty magnets are not as strong as a nonrusty magnet
How long does it take for magnets to rust?

Do magnets affect capacitors?
Yes, they do, but their affect is minimal. Magnets with their magnet fields affect inductors profoundly, but don't do to much to capacitors.
