  No, I think it's inside the event horizon. While GR equations tell us
what happens if GR holds inside the event horizon in the same way as
outside it, it's still speculation.

  I think you could clearly see the event horizon regardless of its size
because of the way it bends light.

  Once inside, you are doomed. There's no escaping the singularity.
You'll go there no matter what you do.

  Nothing is going towards a global singularity in the universe. On the
contrary, everything is going away from everything else.

  A ball is a sphere.

  Perhaps you are confusing it with a spherical surface?
