A magnet is a substance that is made of iron. The molecules in it are arranged in a way different than most magnets which is why the magnet has a tendency to attract materials more. Instead of the fridge magnet having a distinct north or south pole attraction, the fridge magnet has both alternating. This actually gives a stronger force of attraction.
When the magnet is brought in contact or brought close to the fridge, the force between the north and south poles of the body of the fridge and the magnet attract each other, and the alternating poles on the magnet attract as well, giving that extra attraction.
if a refrigerator magnet cant hold a piece of paper against a refrigerator, the forces acting on the magnet must be what?
the refrigerator is iron or steel, therefore the magnet sticks to it.
yes
The term "refrigerator magnet" is ambiguous and may refer to any number of types of magnets. However, typically a refrigerator magnet is going to be relatively weak and made of the most inexpensive materials available. Hard refrigerator magnets are likely iron. Flexible refrigerator magnets are made of bonded ferrite powders; barium ferrite is among the most common. In general classification, a refrigerator magnet is a permanent magnet.
A refrigerator magnet is magnetic because it is a "permanent" magnet. An electromagnet is a magnetic field caused by a current flowing through a wire.

yes
the magnet is supporting weight. I say yes.

it is a magnet and you just stick it to your fridge

The refrigerator isn't actually a magnet, it it simply made of metal which magnets can then stick to.
