That is a current theory. Hard to test since matter is destroyed in the process of passing through.

Some speculate that's the case, other's disprove it. I myself do not know for sure, but one interesting theory states that since blackholes "eat" matter, it is not actually destroyed but comes out somewhere in a so called "whitehole".
If this is true, that means that information and matter is not lost forever as we may think and ultimately survives somehow. If "whiteholes" theory is correct, then in theory blackholes can be deemed "warpholes" as you put it. But as of today, we have not found any "whiteholes" or places in our universe that are emitting matter in large quantities. So at least this theory is still debatable.
In regards to your question, nobody is certain. There are numerous problems in actually going through a blackhole (if you so wanted to). The tidal waves in one would in theory stretch a human being from Earth to the Andromeda Galaxy (ie. kill you). Therefore we cannot know for certain what is on the other side.
If the "whitehole" theory is false, then this does not mean that blackholes can't be portals. Perhaps they simply just eject matter in a different realm or universe, then ours?

Hard to say. But if you were able to survive the gravity with technology that shields you from it then who knows. One thing though, while in the black hole time would be so quick outside of the black hole that it would probably seem like hours before the blackhole went through its entire life cycle so you wouldn't have to wait long to find out.
I tend think that a blackhole seperates from our universe and where it ends up going.. don't know. If it does make a new universe then all matter in that universe will be at a much smaller scale than ours. For example, if we entered that universe in our present form we might be so big that with one step we could walk over planets. Or atleast stand at 100,000ft tall.

Blackholes can create wormholes through the space-time continuum, i.e. you can travel through them in space.. or theoretically by going back through time. Alternate dimensions are a part of string theory which is essentially unrelated to typical black hole theory.

It's possible, but because we can't completely analyze what goes on inside a black hole there's no way to know for certain. Such a theoretical "warphole" is usually called a wormhole, like the one that transported Jodie Foster in the movie "Contact."

gregory is sort of correct...black holes are not actually holes...they are just super dense stars, that have been compressed into a singularity. That means that thier is an infinite amount of mass and gravity in it. Which means...you cannot go through them. Wormholes are a different case however.

If I can just make it to the Event Horizon, I will let you know!

No, they are just a smaller but more dense version of a white star.
