Steel wool, being made from steel, is an alloy of a number of different elements. Carbon and iron are the main two, though others are frequently added to give steel various other characteristics. Chromium, for example, is added to create stainless steel.

Is steel a pure substance or mixture is it an element or compound?

Steel is not an element, but is a mixture we call an alloy. It is mostly iron with a bit of carbon in it; these are the primary ingredients. But it may also contain other elements to give it different characteristics. The carbon is in it at about one percent (ball park), while if we add something over about 11% chromium, we'll get stainless steel.

No, steel is not an element. It is actually considered an alloy, and the elements iron and carbon are the basic ingredients for making steel.
