What do we call the force that surrounds magnetic objects?

The force that surrounds magnetic objects is called a magnetic field. This field is responsible for the attractive and repulsive forces experienced between magnets and magnetic materials.


What is a magnetic field will be produced at some point in space if the electric field at the point?

As far as the electric field is stationary then no magnetic field. But when electric field is moving at a uniform speed then a magnetic field will be produced. This is what we call Lorentz magnetic field.


What do we call the lines of force surrounding a magnet?

Magnetic field lines. These lines represent the direction in which a small north magnetic pole would tend to move if placed at any given point in the field.

No. Remember that like poles repel. What we call the Earth's north is actually the south pole of the Earth's magnetic field.
