Magnetic filed of the bar magnet will penetrate a paper. Hence the clip will be attracted and stick to the magnet pressing the paper too to the magnet.
No, a magnet will not be able to attract a paper clip that has a cardboard between them. The cardboard will act as a barrier, preventing the magnetic force from reaching the paper clip.
Yes - if you can pick it up with a magnet, it has iron in it. That is why they call substances you can pick up with a magnet "ferromagnetic" - ferrous (the ferro part of ferromagnetic) is Latin meaning (roughly) "of iron", or "containing iron".
A magnetic force.

Zero - that is, when they are touching. The strength of the magnetic force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the magnet and the paper clip.
magnet attracts iron. paper clip made of iron magnet atrracts paper clip...

Well, let's see. If I have a paper clip on a table and a magnet in my hand, and I slowly pass the magnet over the paper clip, the magnet in my hand is pulling the paper clip up with magnetism. If my magnet is close enough to the paper clip, the paper clip will jump up to the magnet ... even though the whole Earth is pulling it down with gravity.

Yep they are called lines of flux, I believe. While invisible to the naked eye, like wind, we can see their effects. If you have iron shavings and a bar magnet, place the bar magnet on a piece of paper, then sprinkle the iron shavings all over the paper. The vast majority of them should line up along the lines of flux between the north and south pole of the magnet.
The paper clip clings to the the magnet
probably because the paper clip weighs less against the magnet

this happens because the magnet has magnetised the nail
