Well there isn't any positive or negative on a magnet. But to find North and South, you can suspend a bar magnet on a string and see which way it points, or use a compass. Remember that the North Magnetic Pole defines what Magnetic North is, and on a compass or a bar magnet the SOUTH magnetic pole point at it.

No, no matter what, magnets have poles. In other words, magnets will always have a positive and negative side. If you cut you magnet in half, those two new magnets will both have + and - sides. Do this infinity times until you have a magnet 1 atom thick. The atom will still have a positive and negative pole. Hope this helps.

To find north you will need the magnet, a needle, a piece of very thin paper & a bucket of water.
