No. It is not a rock. However there are rocks that are magnetic, have magnetism.

Magnetism is one-half of the fundamental force called electro-magnetism. That's why we can cause some things to move using magnets.

No, rocks are inorganic (non carbon) compounds with a fixed or definite chemical composition.

A natural magnet can be made of only three elements - iron, nickel, and cobalt- Only these these exhibit ferromagnetism.

No, not necessarily. Magnets attract ferromagnetic substances the strongest. Iron, Nickel and Cobalt are examples of ferromagnetic elements. If the rock contained enough ferromagnetic substance, then it would attract to the magnet. The related post has some interesting information about magnetic materials.

Stone itself is not magnetic, since there is no metal content. However, If there is iron (oxide) in the rock, like is the case with Magnetite, it can become magnetized. When Magnetite is magnetized, it is known as lodestone.

It depends on the type of rock.

It WILL be magnetic no matter what if it contains magnetite, a mineral that is magnetic.

Can forces only affect objects if the object is touched?

I don't think so. The earth doesn't have to touch a rock in order for the force of gravity to pull the rock towards the earth. A magnet doesn't have to touch a paper clip in order to pick it up off the table and pull it all the way to the magnet.
