It can pull things together when they are separated by some distance,
without wires or strings or any kind of connection between them.
You don't specifically need a magnet to overcome the force of gravity; ANY force that is stronger than gravity can "overcome" it, at least temporarily. For example, if you lift an object up, you are "overcoming" the force of gravity.
That can be gravity, electrostatic force, magnetic force, or strong nuclear force. As you've described it in the question, the only thing you can call it for sure is "mutual force of attraction".
Gravity is a force that attracts all matter.Magnetism attracts only a few elements.
"Magnetic force" is the force that acts on a magnetic object in a magnetic field. It can either attract or repel objects depending on the orientation of the magnetic poles of the objects involved. It is one of the fundamental forces in nature, along with gravity, electromagnetic force, and weak nuclear force.
No, a magnetic field is not needed to create gravity. Gravity is a fundamental force of nature that exists between all objects with mass, whereas magnetism is a different fundamental force that arises from the motion of electric charges.
The electric force, the magnetic force and gravity, all act at a distance.The electric force, the magnetic force and gravity, all act at a distance.The electric force, the magnetic force and gravity, all act at a distance.The electric force, the magnetic force and gravity, all act at a distance.

That and the magnetic force
The magnetic force of the Earth's gravity holds the Moon in it's orbit.
An external force (like magnetic field or gravity)
That can be gravity, electrostatic force, magnetic force, or strong nuclear force. As you've described it in the question, the only thing you can call it for sure is "mutual force of attraction".
It is a force, such as gravity or magnetic attraction, which act at a distance.

Gravity, electrostatic force, and magnetic force all behave that way.
