you should mention somewhere in your essay the Large Hadron Collider. and talk about the possible effects of a malfunction.
no you shouldnt, this agrivates scientists and science teachers alike. -there is absolutely no danger here, this is agreed among almost every scientist that is not trying to get media attention.

in theory it could happen but they would disappear very fast due to their small size.. and they would be almost impossible for us to detect..
yep it is now believed that all black holes "evaporate". also they do not grow in size: once formed they do not allow any more matter past the accretion disc. -if they did not evaporate we should see a whole lot more of them in the universe than we have detected.
