It is not the weight that is relevant, but the mass. And when it is stated that a photon has no mass, that refers to its "rest mass" or "invariant mass". But since it has energy, it certainly has an equivalent mass as well - all energy has mass. In any case, what actually happens here is that the black hole distorts space and time around it in such a way that light will no longer go in a straight line (in the traditional sense); once it gets within the event horizon, a photon can only get deeper into the black hole, no matter in what direction it moves.
Light that passes near a black hole but does not cross the event horizon is bent toward it in what is called gravitational lensing. The closer the light passes to the black hole, the more it is bent. For someone with an up-close view, this lensing would result in a highly distorted image of whatever is behind the black hole. Photons that cross the event horizon are lost inside of it forever, and their energy is added to the mass of the black hole.
Light is not only attracted to a black hole, in fact, its attracted to you, to me and to everything made of matter in the universe. The problem is that light is affected by gravity, and the black holes have so much that light significantly change trajectory or the black holes absorb the photons
The weight of a black hole doesn't tear spacetime because the black hole's mass warps spacetime only around its immediate vicinity, following the curvature of general relativity. This warping allows objects to enter and exit without spacetime tearing.
A black hole's photon sphere is the region around the black hole where photons can orbit in a stable circular path. The event horizon is the boundary beyond which nothing, not even light, can escape the gravitational pull of the black hole. In simpler terms, the photon sphere is where light can circle the black hole before falling in, while the event horizon marks the point of no return.
Your "weight" is the magnitude of the gravitational force between you and another mass. -- In deep space, far from any other mass, the gravitational force between you and any other mass would be very small, but never zero. -- Near a back hole, the gravitational force between you and the black hole would be (gravitational constant) x (your mass) x (black hole's mass)/(your distance from the black hole)2

You 'see' things when light (photons) are reflected off a surface, and absorbed by your retina. A black hole's gravitational field is so strong, that the escape velocity exceeds the speed of light. Any photons within a certain radius will be unable to escape. Since no photons are being emitted, the black hole appears black and gives off no light.

Photons do not become "entangled" with each other any more than waves on water do. They move along independently. If a photon crosses the event horizon of a black hole as that photon follows the curve of spacetime "down" into the black hole, it is probable that a photon moving "with" it will suffer the same fate.

light has no mass and therefore no weight. Light cannot be "pulled" into a black hole. The escape velocity from a black hole is greater than the speed of light, so no light can escape from a black hole. Spacetime in the vicinity of a black hole is greatly distorted by the hole's gravity, and light may travel along curved geodesics that intersect the black hole. But it is not pulled in.
According to the general theory of relativity, gravity does not attract; instead gravity bends spacetime. Objects always follow locally straight lines of motion, but in bent spacetime a locally straight line of motion is not globally straight, instead it is globally bent. Thus it does not matter if an object passing near a black hole has mass or not, its path will bend toward the black hole. Note: do not confuse mass and weight. In free fall all objects, whether they have mass or not, have no weight.
A black hole will attract you through its gravity - just like any other object will.
