Not all fans do need a coil and magnet - there are hand fans, punkah walla fans belt driven fans (as in your car) and Stirling engine fans that I can think of that do not need a coil or a magnet. It is only electrically driven fans that require a coil and magnet because they work on the principles of electromagnetism.

Where does a compass point when it is moved close to a magnet?

That depends on which pole of the magnet it is moved close to. If it is brought close to the "South" pole of the magnet, the "North" pointer of the compass will be attracted to the magnet. If it is brought close to the "North" pole of the magnet, the "North" pointer of the compass will be repelled and will point AWAY from the magnet, while the "South" end of the compass pointer will point to the magnet.
