They can be near without colliding, they would either just go into orbit about each other or they could escape from each other. If they go into orbit eventually the orbit would decay and they would collide.
If and when the two black holes collide they will form a single larger black hole. The surface area of the event horizon of the resulting black hole will be greater than or equal to the sum of the areas of the event horizons of the original black holes.

If you subscribe to the quantum physics notion that matter is just space between far-flung particles(that probably consist of even more space) there is limitless opportunity for compression. Therefore, if the larger black hole has sufficiant density to pull the smaller across its event horizon, it would be absorbed without incident.
In fact, this probably happens on a routine basis. I once had a tank full of extremely agressive File fish. In 3 days, only one fish remained, and he looked to be about the same size as always. I suspect similar goings on in space.

They will become one black hole and the gravitational pull will be much greater. Very highly destructive I'll say depending on how big the two are.

the shape horizon of both black holes are summed in a complicated way, the ensuing journey horizon isn't equivalent to the sum of the shape horizon of both black holes! even with the undeniable fact that the ensuing journey horizon will be that of an excellent-vast black hollow the inflexible body dynamics of this tremendous-vast black hollow would matter on the very truth no matter if the unique black holes were rotational or not!

The process will cause gravitational waves (at least in theory, it is yet to be measured) and they will eventually merge to form one black hole.

They will grab each other, they will approach each other, they will turn around each other and wil dance with each other in space. They will come closer and closer until they unite. 'tis a beutiful site from afar but you would not like to live ther.

1 big explosion would happen and could take 1000's of Galaxy's with it i watched this on a DVD called mysteries of deep space if you are interseted here is a address for you.

They would most likely circle a centre point of mass like two suns do.

The bigger one wins.
If they are the same size maybe they will be like magnetic opposites and never touch , or possibly they would merge to make a giant one.

It's the perfect game of chicken.
