Will a sinking boat pull you underneath if you are close to it in the water?

No, although air is released, destabilizing the water, you will not be 'sucked' in, you just will have trouble staying afloat. It's not a suction, just a weak platform.

How does a boat float without sinking?
The weight of the boat displaces the same weight of water, and while there is still sides of the boat above the surface, the boat will float. If such an open boat is swamped, the gunnels may sink to sea level, and may even sink beneath. Usually, water-tight compartments, light, floating material, and any wood in the boat's construction, will help prevent the boat sinking entirely, if at all.

Why did the Egyptian boats not drown when they had rocks for the pyramids?
The water displaced created a force of buoyancy sufficient to keep the boat from sinking. This is the same idea with steel ships. If you take a ball of steel and put it in the water, the steel sinks, but large battleships made entirely of steel float. Why? When as ship presses into the water, it pushes against the water on all points under the water's surface. The water pushes back, more weakly than the boat (otherwise the boat would sit on the water the way a car "sits" on land), but enough to keep the boat from completely sinking.
