How does time react in a black hole? If not even light can escape, then it must warp time and space, so does that mean like a minute of our time would equal an infinite amount of time in a black hole?

You are pretty close to the truth. A black hole, I believe, is that region of space where time obtains a value of zero. In other words time stops. Assuming you could get inside the event horizon without getting ripped apart (you can't), you would never know it because you would never leave that instant in time.

Time would appear to move normal to the space traveler, but slowed to the observer.
