Yes carbon in few forms is bendable and shapeable. The best example of a shapeable carbon is spider silk / carbon nanotube (CNT-SS).

Graphite, coal and diamond are all forms of carbon. As such, yes it is movable and reshapable.

No, it is not.

A malleable substance would be flattened like a sheet on applying force.However, carbon or any of its allotropic forms won't.This proves it is not malleable.

Is malleable a metal non-metal or metalloid?

A metal is malleable because aluminium, for example, can be compressed to a thin sheet and copper can be stretched to form a wire. On the other hand, a nonmetal isn't malleable. For example, carbon is extremely solid (it is a component of diamond). A metalloid, though, may be malleable or not depending on it's characteristics. Tin is a malleable substance (at some point) but silicon isn't... it's a rock!
