We know that space can be twisted, dragged and otherwise deformed by matter. Can it be that some of the space around a black hole be sucked into it just like matter is?

I dont think space can be sucked into a black hole since theres nothing in space, rather than just bending it severely. What gets sucked in is any matter that crosses the event horizon. (gas,dust,hoepfully not a person)

Gravity could be described as space being "sucked" (stretched, not moved) in by mass. From my amateurish point of view, anyway.
