The dimension there is 5/16".  Subtract 1/4" for your magnet anf that leaves 1/32" on either side of the hole.  Without a jig he's
very likely to destroy the window.  Not only that, the manufacturer may decide that his hole violates the warranty.

No, you can't.  Look at the drawing.  The magnet will stick out the other side of the wood right where the weather strip protrudes.
When he shuts the window it may splinter the bottom of the sash.  Even if it doesn't, it will interfere with the weather strip in
the groove of the rail.

Note: The horizontal pieces at the top and bottom of the sash are called "rails".

Unless it keeps the window from closing because the weather strip on the sill hits it.
