There certainly are. Try a google search on "magnetic field detector". Prices range from cheap to "oh my crikey!" As with anything, you get what you pay for, though. Too cheap and it's junk. Yet you probably don't need a hyper sensitive science quality device that only a science lab can afford.

A word of warning, though. There is a crowd of folks who believe that stray EMF fields are very detrimental to their health. They even think the wiring in their house is making them sick. So be aware that there are websites selling EMF detectors that cater to this crowd. I'd be wary of those sales as the devices may be mis-marketed or deceptive in their advertised abilities. Or outright fake. And probably over priced to boot!

Nothing specific. Try different locations for the maglev toy and the antenna. It'll take time, perhaps weeks, as you need to leave them in their new locations for a while so you can gauge any change in behavior.

I'd suggest picking 3 or 4 locations for each item and trying all the combinations. Note that 4 locations for two devices means 16 different combinations, so that's a lot of experimenting. So maybe three places is enough as that's only 9 combinations.

That way you can make a grid comparing all the results easily. 3x3 is a tic-tac-toe grid. (I think you call it naughts and crosses?)
