Can you watch objects being pulled past the event horizon of a black hole?

No. Nothing, not even light can escape from within the event horizon. Since light can't get out, we can't see anything inside, which is why black holes are black.

What are objects from which light can not escape because of a gravitational pull at its surface?
A black hole. However, it does not have a surface but an event horizon.
Why get objects stretched thin in a black hole?
Upon falling towards a black hole the "front" is pulled more than the "back" causing objects to stretch.
Do all objects close to a black hole get sucked into it?
Only if they cross the event horizon. When they do, there is no turning around.
What is the area beyond a black hole where black hole has stopped expanding and matter will no longer be pulled in?
There is no definite boundary for matter not being pulled toward a black hole. At large distances the effects of a black hole's gravity are not different from that of a different object of the same mass. How far out a black hole's gravity is dominant depends on that black hole's mass and its proximity to other massive objects.
Where can objects orbit within black holes?
By "within" a black hole, I would imagine you mean within the event horizon. Such an object won't ORBIT the black hole - it will simply fall towards the singularity.
Dose a blackwhole suck in objects and matter from both sides?
Blackholes can affect objects near them strongly. The closer an object gets to the event horizon of a black hole, the more its orbit will be affected. Once an object is pulled in past the event horizon, it cannot escape and is sucked into the black hole. The pull of the singularity is so strong that even light can't escape.
What is the area beyond a black hole where the black hole has stopping expanding and matter will no longer be pulled in?
The ergosphere is an oblate spheroid region outside of the event horizon, where objects cannot remain stationary. While objects and radiation can escape normally from the ergosphere, there is still gravitational frame dragging of matter which is orbiting a black hole. Note: Think of the black hole's ergosphere area being like the Earth's graviational influence area of Low Earth Orbit.
How many miles do you have to be to get pulled into a black hole?
To get pulled into a black hole, you must be within the black hole's event horizon, the point of no return. Otherwise, you will still be able to escape the black hole's gravity, if you traveled fast enough. Once you cross the event horizon, though, you will not be able to escape, no matter how fast you travel.
Is there any other black hole gravity apart from the event horizon?
Gravity is towards the center of the black hole. The event horizon is not what attracts objects - it is simply the "point of no return".

When will you be pulled into the black hole?
I won't be - at least not within my own lifetime. But, theoretically speaking, you (or me or anything else that gets too close) would be pulled into the black hole if you get too close to it. If you end up reaching the event horizon, you'll never be able to escape.

What type of black hole might you approach the horizon without being spaghettified?
All of them. It is only when you cross the event horizon, are you subject to the immense gravitational attraction.
Can a black hole do any damage to anything outside its horizon?
Yes,you can read all about it here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_holeAnother reply: Sure, for a start, anything outside the horizon will still be attracted by the black hole, so it just may end up falling into the black hole.Also, for smaller black holes, tidal forces outside the event horizon can be significant. This may tear objects apart, if they venture too near the black hole.
