The moon model would be about 1/4th the size of the modeled earth.

In previous models, the moon either formed concurrently with Earth in its accretion disk, or was captured when its orbit crossed that of Earth's and was captured in Earth's gravitational field.

Yes since the Moon is a satellite of the Earth and the Earth is part of our Solar System.
Yes. the mutually attracting forces of gravity hold the moon and earth together and cause the earth's tidal forces.
Not magnetism, gravity.

No, its gravity is too low to hold an atmosphere.
The moon has gravity, but it is much weaker than the gravity on Earth. It is not enough to hold onto an atmosphere.
The average diameter of the Earth is about 3.66 times that of the Moon. So if a model of the Moon were 1 meter in width, Earth on the same scale would be 3.66 meters wide.
