Why does a jeepney continue to move for some time even after its engine has been switched off?

It's about inertia and kinetic energy. Everything that has mass will want to continue with what it's doing. If it's motionless, you have to overcome inertia to get it moving, and if it is moving, inertia will keep it moving until friction has used up all of its kinetic energy.

Does Magnetic forces act when electrons move?

Yes. To be more accurate, a magnetic field is caused whenever there are moving electrical charges. Even the magnetic field in a permanent magnet are caused by more electrons moving around their atoms in one direction, than in the other.Yes.
