Steel drums are made from a specific grade of steel, but not what is known as stainless steel.

Yep, you can weld steel to stainless and you can weld stainless to steel. You can use steel or stainless welding rod in either case but the steel or steel welding rod will of course rust.
Well, the answer lies in the question; by saying 'real' stainless steel, you are implying that there are fake metals which go under the name 'stainless steel', thus the difference is that the stainless steel in refigerators is actually stainless steel, and the fake stainless steel is not...thus your question is answered...

Steel and stainless steel tend to weigh around the same, however, stainless steel can sometimes be a bit lighter.

Yes, stainless steel can be magnetized to some extent. The level of magnetic properties can vary depending on the specific grade of stainless steel and its composition. Generally, austenitic stainless steels (e.g. 304, 316) are not magnetic, while ferritic and martensitic stainless steels can be magnetized.
