An event horizon is the boundary beyond which nothing, not even light, can escape the immense gravitational pull of a black hole.
No. Only black holes have event horizons.
No, white dwarfs do not have an event horizon. Event horizons are a characteristic feature of black holes, where the gravitational pull is so strong that not even light can escape. White dwarfs are dense stellar remnants, but they do not have the extreme gravity needed to form an event horizon.
The event horizon is not related to density comparison with the atomic nucleus. It is the point around a black hole where the escape velocity is equal to the speed of light, and nothing, not even light, can escape. The density of a black hole is concentrated in its singularity at the center, not at the event horizon.
The diameter is usually considered the diameter of the event horizon. The diameter of this event horizon is directly proportional to the black hole's mass.

The "boundary" you're probably thinking of is called the event horizon. Past this point, the escape velocity of the black hole exceeds the speed of light, meaning nothing, including light, can escape it.

No planet has an event horizon. A black hole has an event horizon; it is the radius within which light cannot escape.
A black hole has more mass than a neutron star, but if you are comparing volume it would depend on the mass of the black hole. A neutron star is estimated to be about 14 miles in diameter, which is larger than the event horizon of a black hole up to about 3.8 times the mass of the sun. A more massive black hole will be larger.

The phrase commonly used to describe the event horizon in black holes is "point of no return."
Assuming you mean the event horizon of a black hole (there are other types as well), the diameter of a black hole as measured by its event horizon is directly proportional to its mass. The larger the mass, the larger the diameter. Thus, as a black hole's mass increases, it will get bigger. The only limitation is how much mass a black hole is able to incorporate from its surroundings.
The event horizon. Anything inside the event horizon can't escape.
You can't. It is physically and mathematically impossible to escape a black hole once you cross the event horizon.
