the nail goes to the magnet
If the magnet does not pick up any of the nails in the drawer, it could be due to a weak magnetic field of the magnet or the nails being made of a material that is not attracted to the magnet, such as stainless steel. Some nails are made from non-magnetic materials, so they wouldn't be attracted to a magnet.
In general, steel nails will not remain "joined" if a magnet touching them is removed. It is important to note that nails affected by a magnet retain a weak "impression" of the field and remain slightly magnetic. But the magnetic field "impressed" on the nails will be quite small and will not hold the nails together once the magnetic is removed.

With a magnet. It will only pick up the steel.

No, the iron nails inside the steel container will not be attracted to a magnet outside the container because the steel container will shield the nails from the magnetic field. Steel is not magnetic, so it will not affect the iron nails inside the container.
The method to separate steel nails from brass screws is called magnetic separation. Since steel is magnetic while brass is not, a magnet can be used to attract and separate the steel nails from the brass screws.
No, aluminum nails are not attracted to magnets. Aluminum is a non-ferrous metal, which means it does not have magnetic properties like ferrous metals such as iron or steel. Therefore, aluminum nails will not respond to a magnet.

Yes. Nails are usually made from iron or steel, which is attracted to magnets.
