Event Horizon.
In the context of a black hole, the boundary refers to the event horizon, which is the point of no return beyond which nothing, not even light, can escape the gravitational pull of the black hole. It marks the boundary between the observable universe outside the black hole and the region where all information is lost to the singularity at the center.
The gravity in a black hole is so strong that not even light can escape. For all intents and purposes it can be considered infinite.
The very outside part of a black hole when "feeding" is called the Accretion Disc. when a black hole is not devouring a star the outside part becomes the Event Horizon.
Your use of "the" black hole seems to indicate that you are thinking about one specific black hole. Please clarify which one - there are several known black holes, discovered at different times.
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.

By definition, the event horizon is a boundary of a black hole at which escape velocity reaches "c", the speed of light. Hence, the event horizon defines a boundary, within which, events can't affect an outside observer; neither light nor matter can escape.
No, they are not the same. A singularity would be inside a black hole.
There are no known planets in the vicinity of a black hole.
The apparent horizon is formed first in the evolution of a black hole. It represents the point from which no light can escape, defining the boundary of a black hole's event horizon.
Any matter that gets close enough to a black hole can be absorbed by it. But there are no known black holes nearby - the closest known black hole is at a distance of 3000 light-years.
A black hole is a collapsed star with such a strong gravitational pull that not even light can escape from it. This phenomenon occurs when a massive star runs out of nuclear fuel and collapses under its own gravity. The boundary surrounding a black hole, beyond which nothing can escape, is called the event horizon.
The very outside part of a black hole when "feeding" is called the Accretion Disc. when a black hole is not devouring a star the outside part becomes the Event Horizon.
A black hole is a star that has collapsed into a tiny point known as a singularity.
That is not yet known for sure. Most large galaxies have a supermassive black hole in their center. It is known how a massive star can convert to a black hole, but it is not currently known how such a black hole would acquire such a huge mass since its creation.
