Since I'm no expert on black holes I'll answer only this bit.
The answer is "yes", and it's quite obvious (from your question). If you put less in than what goes out then the black hole evaporates.
Blame: You question whether black holes can form. If they exist, wll, then they must have formed somehow. Black holes are the remains of dying stars.
Here is some info, although it was written long before Hawking retracted his "non-evaporation" theory, so the "nothing escapes" bit is now obviously being questioned.
