Would I pin this on the outside of a duvet cover?

You could. I found that I could reach inside and pin through the filler, then through the bottom of the duvet cover, and it worked just fine, without having little dimples show on the top from pinning through all three layers. I guess it depends on how picky you are... and how much work you want to do, because I will warn you that it was a pain to do it with a king-size comforter and cover!

Is the white cap made of plastic or iron/Steel? The white cap looks plastic to me. How does the magnet work?

The white caps inner steel parts that are they're encased in a high grade plastic. The caps feel solid, well made, and would be very difficult to break. The best way to explain how the magnet works is that these are just like the security tags that department stores place on clothing. Once the Pin & Cap are joined they stay locked! The magnetic "key" releases the Pin when placed upon Cap's rounded end. The Caps encase a "lock mechanism" that is magnetically controlled.The quality is outstanding and the seller is a"Top-notch" company!

Are the "pins" in pinionpins long enough to pierce through 2 blankets and a down comforter a inside of a duvet cover?

I think the answer to your question is yes, depending on the thickness of your items. But if your items are thick, you might not be able to release the pin without using one of the following methods. (I have 4 thin blankets pinned together & couldn't unpin them at first.) I found a link to a YouTube video that shows you how to undo a stuck pin by quickly (and forcefully?) tapping the key over the backer pin several times: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHVmcto2GAk. Another way to undo the pin is to put a solid item behind the clear pinhead attached to your items, then push the key down firmly over the pin backer holding them together. The pin should release easily. I've found I can flip my stack of pinned blankets so the clear pinhead sits on top of the bedding on my mattress, then I push the key down firmly over the pin backer. This allows me to pull apart the pin. WHEW, thank goodness!!! I hope one or both of these methods work for you!

Would the pins do any damage to a down comforter? I want to use them to secure a duvet cover to the comforter.

That is what I use them for and they are awesome!!! They do poke holes but they are not very big. About the size of those security tags that they use on clothing at stores. They hold the comforter very well, we use an additional pin in the center top of our king size comforter.
