No, they won't. Copper, while it is a good conductor of electricity, is not a ferromagnetic material, and a magnet won't be magnetically attracted to it. (They will stick to anything if you use enough glue!)

Yes, although the magnet has to be fairly strong

You should use the word 'attract' instead of 'stick'.

Copper is diamagnetic, so it is actually very weakly repelled by a magnet.
