Probably not. It is currently unknown exactly what dark matter is, but theories claim that it may comprise up to 90 percent of the mass in the universe. We can't even find life on the masses we can identify.

Yes and no because we don't actually know what Dark Matter is we only detect the stuff by its gravitational effects and traditional matter's gravity obscures any Dark Matter gravity that may be present on Earth

Black holes are pretty much proven to exist. The concept of a black hole was first proposed mathematically. Later scientists proposed mechanisms by which black holes might form. Later, astronomers discovered gravitational anomalies and radiation sources that, based on our current understanding, could only be explained by the presence of black holes.

Dark matter and dark energy are a different question. Dark matter is a proposed explanation for why many galaxies have much more mass than they should based on the amount of observable matter they contain. Dark energy is an explanation for why the expansion of the universe is accelerating. In either case scientists know something is causing the discrepancies, but they are not sure what it is.

Dark Matter is that which we may call Space. That which takes up about 90% of the universe. It does not exist only in what the term represents i.e There is dark matter or space between the Earth and Mars. It is only dark because it neither absorbs nor reflects light. Take the word Love, it is but a word but it is what it represents that counts. That the universe is expanding is true but it is not Dark Matter or Space which causes the expansion, only the distance between objects.
