Velocity is relative. A black hole can have any velocity up to asymptotic to lightspeed depending on the point of view of an observer. The black hole doesn't care who looks at it. An inertial observer sees what is expected re Special and General Relativity.

It would change the shape of the gravitational field around the BH. Gravity waves are thought to move at lightspeed, so there would be a compressed field ahead of the BH as it moved, catching up to the expansion of its own gravity well, and the field/well behind the BH would be drawn out. The field would also be strengthened overall, since objects at such speeds are in effect more massive than before.

I guess math gets a whole lot harder
