Kyle:
Yes, as a general rule I'd do it at 100,000 miles, only if, as I stated before, you are really planning on holding on to the car a very long time. To change it if you don't plan on holding on to it is a little like the guys who use seat covers only to protect the seats. Why not enjoy the seats? Well, maybe a poor example, but I think you know what I mean.
On the second part, if it get low mileage. I guess if it were a case where it accumulates lower mileage because of numerous small trips, I could see maybe doing it sooner. If you are bound and determined to change that ATF, then don't let my advice hold you back! But if the car is driven normally, but only ossasionally, then I'd stick with my "100,000 miles if you are keeping it forever" advice.
There were some manufacturing problems with the earlier boxes, nothing that changing the ATF will help with.
Yes, do the magnet at the ATF change.
