Does the pull of gravity vary like a magnetic force?
Yes, it does. The pull of gravity is strongest close to the Earth and becomes weaker as you travel out into space. There is a place out in space where you are no longer pulled down by the Earth’s gravity just as there is a place at a distance from a magnet where a paperclip is no longer pulled to the magnet.
