The event horizon is the theoretical "point of no return." It is the point in a black hole in which once you cross it, events cannot affect an outside observer. Once you crossed the event horizon of a black hole, you would have 100% chance of being sucked into it, and you would no longer be visible to any outside observer.

Like he said, the material was not beyond the event horizon, hence the object can still emit light without issues.
Black holes don't really absorb light around them, photons do not have mass so they cannot be affected by gravity in a traditional sense, rather the black hole's immense density bends and warps spacetime itself, so the light that collides with the black hole still travels in a straight line, but the spacetime it travels through bends it into the black hole, "absorbing" it.

May I ask you to define "event horizon" to me?
