I know that the gravitational pull is greater than the speed of light. But can this be measured and compared from one black hole to another? Also, are there any direct correlations of this property to the acceleration of the expanding universe?

The denser the black hole, the larger it's event horizon would be.

Applying the Einstein Field Equations to collapsing stars, German astrophysicist Kurt Schwarzschild deduced the critical radius for a given mass at which matter would collapse into an infinitely dense state known as a singularity. For a black hole whose mass equals 10 suns, this radius is about 30 kilometers or 19 miles, which translates into a critical circumference of 189 kilometers or 118 miles.

The above is half right. The acceleration (not really pull) of gravity is related to the total mass of the object (not just the density) and the distance from it. A larger mass has more acceleration at a given distance or the same acceleration at a larger distance. The event horizon is the point at which the acceleration of gravity is enough to make escape velocity more than 186,000 miles per second. A more massive black hole would have a larger diameter event horizon. In theory, the black hole itself is an infinitely small and dense point in the center of the event horizon.

You can kind of think of the event horizon as the surface of the black hole and the mass as the weight of the black hole, but not exactly.

the only difference there may be from one black hollow to a different is the ability of its gravitational container. this relies upon upon how huge a celebrity had collapsed to create it, and how lots extra count number had fallen into it. The acceleration of the enlargement of the universe isn't thoroughly understood immediately yet hypothesis are leaning in the direction of it would do with the dark count number and or dark skill that exists in our universe.
