Since light can not escape a blackhole, and light is the fastest thing in the universe. According to Einstein, time slows as we travel faster....would you actually travel back in time if you went through a black hole...or at least around the event horizon?

first of all, you'd be ripped to shreds, so you wouldn't experience anything.

secondly, time slows for other observers, not for the person heading into the black hole. to an outside observer, it would look like you were slowing down as you approach the black hole, and stop when you get to the event horizon. to the person going in, however, it would just feel like you were getting faster and faster until you were ripped apart.

If it is believed that Black Holes exist with special property of having the Densest gravity field possible of a mass structure, then it follows that any photons approaching it will increase in tremendous acceleration and acquiring a velocity many folds greater than the Speed of light.
However this would Violate The tenets of General relativity and specifically Speceial Relativity theory.
See for more details=Paper published by Abhas Mitra chalenging Stephen Hawking on the Existence of Black Holes.

Maybe. Some people (Einstein) think space and time is folded and it's possible that there exists points that "tunnel" from one fold to another, that can transfer matter, thereby time traveling.

You would be dead before you got even close.
