Can I use a non copper screw to attach it? Where I have to connect the ground with other wire the copper screw is a little too short to screw tight

You don't have to use copper. Any metal screw will work, but will be more susceptible to rust and corrosion.

yes...what is important is that the wire makes good contact with the connection point. Just be sure that the threads on the screw you use are exactly the same as the threads on the original screw so you don't screw up the female threads.

The type of metal only matters when it's part of the actual conducting connection. If the screw is just being used to apply pressure to make the connection, then the metal does not matter.
