Not necessarily. The three definitions for a "spinning" black hole that I gave upthread do not require the presence of any accelerated frames or observers.
> what does it mean for a black hole, which we assume to be a singularity occupying no space at all
This is not correct. A black hole is a finite region of spacetime enclosed by an event horizon. The singularity is inside the hole but is not all of the hole.
> to be spinning? We don’t know.
Yes, we do. We have known since the 1960s that the Kerr solution to the Einstein Field Equation describes a spinning black hole, and all of the geometric properties of that solution have been known for almost as long as that.

No, it's not. See above.

This is correct, but it does not imply or support your other claims.
