I'm not sure what you mean by this. You certainly can shield a static magnetic field by using a magnetically soft material.
Yes, but that's not a faraday cage.
Ah. I think we're parsing nextaccountic's ambiguous grammar differently.

My reading: "Can magnetic fields be shielded (by mu-metal), like a Faraday cage shields electric fields?"

vs your reading: "Can a Farafay cage shield magnetic fields like it can shield electric fields?"

Yep, I was being pedantic meanwhile you were likely providing useful info :).
