What will be deflection in compass needle of a magnet when a current carrying wire is placed over it?

The compass needle will turn until it's perpendicular to the wire, provided the current
in the wire is enough to generate a magnetic field around the wire that's strong enough
to swamp out the effects of the Earth's magnetic field.
(That doesn't take much current.)

What will be attracted to ( or repelled by) a magnet?
a copper wire carrying current and another magnet.
Will a copper wire not carrying a current be attracted to a magnet?
No, a copper wire that is not carrying a current will not be attracted to a magnet. Copper is not a magnetic material, so it does not interact with magnetic fields in the same way that magnetic materials like iron or nickel do.
