Why won't a magnet attract a pencil?

Because the only metallic part of a pencil is the extremely thin part at the end that holds the eraser in. It does have enough mass to be attracted by a magnet. Furthermore, pencils don't really has "lead", per se; it is really graphite, a carbon-based compound that is not metallic.

How does magnetism work in a pencil sharpener?

In a pencil sharpener, magnetism is used to hold and guide the blade in place. The magnetic force helps keep the blade secure while sharpening the pencil and also aids in the smooth operation of the sharpener.
