Did Albertus Magnus write the book Egyptian Secrets?
It is extremely unlikely - he is credited with all kinds of very unlikely things, including the invention of gunpowder artillery and pistols (things that were actually developed hundreds of years after his death), discovering the philosopher's stone (it still has never been discovered) and the authorship of a truly immense number of books.
It is much more likely that his name was associated with all these things by much later writers, in order to give their books and discoveries an air of importance - essentially creating fakes. His name in Latin ("Magnus") is simply a translation of his real name (de Groot), which was a common enough second name in his home country of Bavaria.
Albertus wrote only in Latin - the "Book of Egyptian Secrets" was written in German; it contains absolutely nothing to do with ancient (or even medieval) Egypt; According to Will-Erich Peuckert, the language and use of idioms in the book point to an origin in the Swabian-Alemannic region, and if so it can have no connection at all with Albertus.

What is the oldest piece of literature originating from the UK?
Technically the earliest literature originating from the United Kingdom would have been published in 1707 when England (which included Wales) and Scotland joined to form the Kingdom of Great Britain. However, the earliest works considered to be English literature would be those written in the Anglo Saxon period (500ish AD until the Norman conquest in 1066) surviving mostly in the four major manuscripts. The dates in which these were written are not known for certain because everything we know about the works are from modern analysis. The epic poem Beowulf, perhaps the most important piece of literature out of this era, is thought to have been written somewhere between the 8th and 11th centuries. Some other works are suspected to have been written before that.

Answer
The "Horn" is Cape Horn, the southernmost tip of South America, which has some of the wildest wind, waves, rocky shores and currents in the world, and was especially difficult and challenging for sailing ships to travel westwards (into the prevailing westerly gales). So "rounding the horn" was a significant accomplishment.
