Yes, according to our current understanding of physics, black holes have infinite density and can hold an infinite amount of mass within their event horizon.
A black hole's mass is concentrated in an extremely small and dense point called the singularity, where the laws of physics as we know them break down. This allows for an infinite amount of mass to be contained within the black hole.
There is no known theoretical limit to the size of a black hole. The more mass it accumulates, the larger its event horizon becomes, allowing it to continue growing in size.
No, the event horizon of a black hole is the point of no return. Once something crosses the event horizon, it is impossible for it to escape, even light.
The mass of a black hole directly affects its gravitational pull. The larger the mass, the stronger the gravitational pull becomes. This is what makes black holes such powerful and destructive forces in the universe.
