Nobody is sure what happens at the center of a black hole.
The event horizon is a boundary, when crossed (moving toward the black hole) it becomes impossible to escape back out through the boundary because the escape velocity is at least equal to the speed of light, which no mass can be accelerated to.
It is believed that anything passing into a black hole would be destroyed by the massive amounts of energy that orbit inside the event horizon. Additionally, on smaller black holes, the space inside the event horizon is so heavily bent by gravity that even atoms will be ripped apart.
There isn't any reason (currently) to believe in the existence of white holes. All the 'energy' that gets pulled into a black hole is eventually, but extremely slowly, emitted back into space through two large jets at the black hole's poles.

According to the research I've done on the subject, the leading theory is that beyond the event horizon (the point at which not even light can escape a black hole's gravity) is a singularity, which is an enormous collection of matter so massive that it collapses on itself to the point where it bends the fabric of space-time into a conical shape resulting in near infinite gravitational pull. It is believed that stars more than 3 times as massive as our sun contain so much matter that when the nuclear fusion counteracting the pull of the stars own gravity stops at the end of it's life cycle, there is no longer any force to stop the star from falling into itself. The following collapse is what creates the black hole. Less massive stars collapse into either a white dwarf or a neutron star, which are still extremely dense, but not massive enough to become a singularity and thus light is still capable of escaping their gravitational pull.

Probably nothing. All objects pulled into a black hole are compressed to a point of singularity, even the black hole itself (which is a supermassive star that is no longer able to "carry its own weight", so to speak, after it has died). I think that because its mass is infinitesimal, it means that its not spewing anything out past the point of singularity. If it were, it seems that that would mean it is losing mass, which I don't think it possible with black hole. Worm holes were once theorized to exist within black holes, but are too unstable to actually exist, and even if they did exist, travel through them would be impossible.

I bet there are complimentary "white holes" somewhere else in the universe that are spewing out all the matter and time that black holes suck in. Maybe the two are not connected at all, but maybe it makes some sort of intergalactic tunnel, or a way to travel between alternate universes or realities, or maybe even some sort of "galactic filtration system" where garbage is sucked up and only the good stuff is re-released.
A fun thought, to be sure :)

Condensed matter and energy into a point of singularity. Millions of eons from now, there will be an era of Black Holes. Black Holes will devour galaxies and each other until there is only one hole left. Then the singularity of the universe will explode and expand. (Big Bang 2) ^^

This is all a hypothetical conjecture, but some think there is a "white hole" out there in some alternate dimension that spews out everything that the black hole sucks in. So it's in the black hole, out the white hole.
Who knows?

some people think that the matter which enters a black hole is simply compacted in the center(the singularity), others think that it might come out of a 'white hole' in a parallel universe.

There isn't an "other side". Just a centre.
