Brush from an electric motor. Looks to be a new-ish one.

Could be from a destroyed power tool, or discarded from an alternator or starter rebuild.

Looks like the piezo-electric igniter from a lighter. Either that, or what GreyShuck said - A carbon brush from a motor.

It's definitely a motor brush.
I've never seen a piezoelectric igniter that looks anything like what OP posted. Just to be clear, you're talking about these that are in most lighters, right?

Yep. Here's an example.

Yes. There's one variant that looks more similar to Ops picture, but I haven't seen it around in ages. But the wire inside the spring is more indicative if a motor brush.
