Answer: There are no "pseudo vectors" there are pseudo "rules". For example the right hand rule for vector multiplication. If you slip in the left hand rule then the vector becomes a pseudo vector under the right hand rule.
Answer: A pseudo vector is one that changes direction when it is reflected. This affects all vectors that represent rotations, as well as, in general, vectors that are the result of a cross product.

Why is magnetic field vector a pseudo vector?
It is the cross product of two vectors. The cross product of two vectors is always a pseudo-vector. This is related to the fact that A x B is not the same as B x A: in the case of the cross product, A x B = - (B x A).
What are some real world examples of mathematical vectors?
Forces, velocities, accelerations.
How do vectors apply to real life?
Any measurement in which the direction is relevant requires vectors.
What are unit vectors used for in real life?
In real life unit vectors are used for directions, e.g east, north and up(zenith). The unit vector specifies the direction. Gyroscopes maintain a direction and keep things level. Whenever and where ever location is important, unit vectors are a part of real life. Whenever directions are important in your real life, then unit vectors are important. If everything was confined to move along a straight line, then unit vectors would not be important. If you can move in a plane, then unit vectors are important. Moving in space, unit vectors are more important. cars, ships and planes all move in space. Controlling and tracking these all involve unit vectors.
Is it possible for the magnitude of the some of two vectors to be larger than the sum of the magnitude of the vectors?
Assuming you mean sum and not some, the answer is No.
