In any curved spacetime we can still talk about local reference frames that are small enough scale we can ignore the curvature. We also can ask if there are closed timelike curves (CTC) which basically is asking whether we can time-travel to our past selves. CTCs are strongly thought to be impossible in reality.
The universe is thought to be spatially flat, but the spacetime as a whole is curved. CTC's are impossible: at each point in spacetime you have an "age of the universe". To be precise, this is maximum path-length (proper time) a geodesic could have between the big-bang singularity and said point. Any time-like or light-like curve is moving in the direction of increasing age of the universe; this is just as strong a concept of "future" and "past" as in flat spacetime.
With a single warp-drive you don't have CTC's. But you can still get CTC's with multiple warp-drives. Suppose you build a warp-drive on Earth and send it out into space. You start with an (almost) flat initial-condition and then generate a strongly curved spacetime (your warp bubble). Starting from a flat spacetime (or for very large scales from the spacetime of the universe), is much more physically realistic than starting from any other spacetime. You have to make your weird and wonderful curvature from an "empty canvas" !
With a warp-bubble, the highly curved spacetime is on a small scale. This allows us to glue two bubble spacetimes together so long as the ships don't get very close to each-other. If we consider two Earths, moving relative to each-other, that each make a warp-drive, we can set up the system to generate CTCs. This is one reason we suspect this to be impossible.
There is another reason to suspect making warp drives is impossible: Geodesics would have to diverge in some region, which is an anti-gravity effect. Neither matter nor light can make anti-gravity (antimatter has positive mass just like matter). The "attractive gravity only" rule is more precisely defined as an energy condition and at least one of these is violated by warp drives. Violating certain energy conditions would make the speed of sound faster than light which also allows for time-travel paradoxes.
In general, no known solution with CTC's is physically realistic. They either involve infinitely large systems that cannot be setup from an "empty canvas" or violations of energy conditions. For example, the Kerr metric concentrates it's energy condition violation in it's singularity. Real black holes are thought to lack this feature and be much deadlier instead.

Yes if it was possible the focus the magnetic field like a laser and use another planets magnetic pole as a tether. The magnetic beam would have to be very fine not to collect metal space junk.
