No. Matter gets torn apart as it approaches a black hole. The mass itself is a singularity, which has no volume. It is debatable whether or not this can een be considered matter.
A black hole contains a large amount of matter, compressed in an incredibly small space.
No, one cubic light year of water would not form a black hole because the mass of the water would not be dense enough to collapse into a black hole. The density of water is much lower than what is required for a black hole to form.
After a black hole
If the core of a supernova explosion contains three or more solar masses of matter, it will most likely become a black hole. The gravitational force is so strong that the core collapses into a singularity, forming a black hole.
Into the black hole's singularity.
No, not every galaxy contains a black hole. While many galaxies do have a supermassive black hole at their center, there are also galaxies that do not have a black hole.

The universe likely contains millions upon millions of black holes.

Well, a singularity is part of a black hole. Although no-one really knows what existed before, a likely explanation is that every black hole contains another universe. So when our black hole was created, we were too.
A black hole is not a true vacuum, as it contains matter and energy that we do not fully understand.
OJ 287. This is a binary pair of black holes. It contains the most massive black hole known, with a mass estimated at 18 billion solar masses.
A black hole's size is determined by its mass, which is the amount of matter it contains. The more mass a black hole has, the larger its size. The size of a black hole is typically measured by its event horizon, which is the point of no return where gravity is so strong that not even light can escape. The event horizon's size is directly related to the mass of the black hole.
After a black hole
The premise of the question is faulty: a black hole is a star with a diameter less than the Chandrasekhar diameter. The body within the black hole can have a range of sizes depending on the mass of the object and its degree of compression. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chandrasekhar_limit
No, the universe is not inside a black hole. Black holes are regions of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape from them. The universe is much larger and contains many galaxies, stars, and planets, including black holes.
