You think it would work if one end is a magnet and the other ferrous metal? I'm pretty certain it wouldn't

Whatever happens there's no work done as the magnet and it's partner don't move relative to each other. There's force between them, but no movement.

No, because the force of attraction is still working in both directions just not as strongly as it would with two magnets.

Yeah, as long as no other energy is put into the system, nothing will happen. Since the two parts are statically attached to the same object, so no additional movement or energy means no effect on the overall object.

It is basically like putting two nails in a piece of wood and stretching a rubber band between them. Nothing will happen without additional steps
