During our last session we had a disagreement about is the pact boon is magic or not and it says its a supernatural gift but i can't find if it is magic or something different.
Sort of, but not specifically. The book and familiar function the way non-pact of those do, basically a normal spellbook and find familiar respectively. Pact weapons are a little grey-er, summoning the weapon is a non-spell form of magic, but the weapon is not magic unless an invocation makes it so (obviously a magic weapon made into a pact weapon is magic) [edit] pact weapons are magic for the purposes of overcoming magic resistance.
Depends a bit on DM interpretations. Why do you ask?
A find familiar spell, a magical blade, or a grimoire/spellbook that has other magic spells. I'd say that its a supernatural gift that is magical by nature. Of course, magic in the eyes of the novice and uninitiated could be simple physics in the eyes of the master.
D&D doesn't classify these sorts of things like Pathfinder does (Supernatural abilities, extraordinary abilities, magic effects, spells, whew) so if this question is important to the lore of your setting then I'm pretty sure it's just up to you and your DM. Personally I see warlocks differently than any other caster. Wizards write down SPELLS and CAST them, Sorcerers might learn SPELLS by memory, or they might have magic abilities that replicate the EFFECTS of spells. I think that unless your patron was originally an arcane spellcaster like a lich or a powerful sorcerous demon, your warlock 'spells' are just magical effects that the warlock can summon from the power of their pact. A wizard has to shout 'Firebolt!' to make a firebolt come out, a sorcerer has to use their magic juice and 'will' a firebolt into existence, warlocks just point their finger and say "bang" and their pact bond summons the magical effect.

Just a clarification, a pact weapon "counts as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity lo nonmagical attacks and damage."
No bonus TH/Dam, but magical.
Looking for new subclasses, spells, magic items, feats, and races? Opinions welcome :)
