After you have a tooth pulled and the blood clots on top is that clot supposed to fall out in a week or so?

not really...
it's wicked complex, but basically the same as a scab, say on your arm.
the clot fills the socket and is replaced underneath by fibrinogen; fibrous connective tissue. eventually, the gums grow back over to cover the socket and the fibrinogen is replaced by bone, to some degree.

MOST PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING LEAVE THE SOCKET AFTER A TOOTH EXTRACTION. THROUGH A COMPLEX HEALING PROCESS THE "HOLE" HEALS OVER AFTER THE EXTRACTION AS THOUGH NOTHING EVER HAPPENED.
