How are magnets made out of?

Magnetic materials. There are lots of metals and alloys and metal oxides that can be used to make a magnet. Iron is a common one, though it's not the best. An aluminium - nickel - cobalt alloy makes very strong magnets, and some of the strongest magnets are made of rare earth oxides.

Does magnets stick to aluminum?

Despite aluminum being the most abundant metal on Earth, it does not interact with magnetic materials. The reason is a little complicated , but basically it's because the atoms, specifically the electrons, in solid aluminum are too far apart from each other to induce cohesive allignment of their magnetic dipoles. Hence the overall magnetic effects of the electron average out to zero, even in the presence of common magnets.

Will mercury metal stick to magnet?

No. Only ferrous metals are magnetic and are solid at room temperature. In order for a metal to "stick" to a magnet it would have to have its atoms aligned in the same direction. When in liquid form the atoms are too busy moving around to actually align themselves to a magnetic field.
