I understand gravity is helping keep the sun together, but not only
does it require lots of mass to be effective. Gravity only will not be
able to stop the jets of ionised gas that will be able to escape the
surface of the sun very easily.

What ionized jets are those? Fusion is taking place at
the core where the conditions are right (pressure,
temperature, density). Heat moves outwards largely
by convection and radiation. Convection cell flow
rates are less than escape velocity which is over
600 km/sec.

Particles with velocities that exceed escape velocity
will be lost, sure. We call this the solar wind.
Large coronal mass ejections are thought to be due
to magnetic field effects (reconnections of force
lines), rather than tamed by them.



A heavy stable atom is the only way of generating and maintaining an
effective magnetic field in the right place and right direction.

Prove it or cite references.


The heat energy produced by the fusion process itself will also help
in generating the protection field.

You've overdosed on Startrek technobabble.


A molten iron core will not only generate internal magnetic field
(force shield), it will also attract energy plasma back to the centre
of the core.

Again, prove it or provide references.


If you wish to control the field, then stick another external field on
the outside to control the internal field, but it will not be able to
stop internal reactions from escaping.

Utter codswallop.
