Earth's magnetic field (and the surface magnetic field) is approximately a magnetic dipole, with one pole near the north pole and the other near the geographic south pole. The Inner Van Allen Belt & Outer Van Allen Belt cause the magnetic field.

The mantle does not form the magnetosphere.

The magnetosphere is formed in the outer liquid iron core. Because it is a liquid it can flow, and the flow of this liquid iron is thought to form a Dynamo Effect, which produces a magnetic field.

What does magnetosphere attract?

The Magnetosphere is that area of space, around a planet, that is controlled by the planet's magnetic field. The shape of the Earth's magnetosphere is the direct result of being blasted by solar wind. It does not attract the solar wind but it defends life on our planet by preventing most of the particles from the Sun, carried in the solar wind, from hitting the Earth.
