Can two entangled particles communicate or tell the other particle which quantum state it sould go in if one particle is in a black hole and if so can they communicate if both are inside a black hole?

No information is transferred between separated entangled particles that could be construed as communication.

The black hole aspect to your question isn't within the scope of quantum physics, but in General Relativity, from the perspective of the distant particle, the other particle approaches but never crosses the apparent event horizon. From the perspective of the infalling particle, the laws of physics breakdown as it approaches the singularity, so all bets are off.

Once one particle enters the black hole it would likely become entangled with that so the question is meaningless.

Not an expert in QM. AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is quite different from the classical wave equation. The former is an equation for the dynamics of the state of a (quantum?) system, the latter is an equation for the dynamics of a (classical) degree of freedom. As a matter of fact, Schrödinger's equation is first order in time derivatives, while the classical wave equation is second order. But, AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is a wave equation; only its interpretation makes it non-classical...

Is it possible, and fruitful, to use certain conceptual and technical tools from effective field theory (coarse-graining/integrating-out, power-counting, matching, RG) to think about the relationship between the fundamental (quantum) and the emergent (classical), both to account for the quasi-autonomy of the classical level and to quantify residual quantum corrections? By “emergent,” I mean the following: after integrating out fast/irrelevant quantum degrees of freedom (high-energy modes...
