No. A black hole is just something so dense that the escape velocity is greater than the speed of light.

Theoretically a black hole can be smaller than the head of a pin. One that size wouldn't be able to do much damage.

You could replace the sun with a black hole of same mass and nothing would change. Granted it would get dark and really cold, but the orbit of the planets would remain exactly the same. A black hole is not some unstoppable vacuum cleaner.
