It seems that the Blacks know what's happening. Perhaps one of them heard that another had Oskar come over and it spread all around the Blacks. Abe Black seemed a bit too relaxed during Oskar's visit and roller coaster ride. Ada Black seemed to know about him as well. The only one that made sense was the man who lived above Oskar. This seems unlikely, but this is fiction, so I wouldn't dismiss it. Also, what exactly happened near the beginning where Oskar was injuring another person in the play?

I thought the same thing! While I'm not too positive such a case would fit this book, it's not completely impossible, like you said. There is definitely something strange about the Blacks, though. To address your second question, I'm pretty sure there are two reasons: one is that I think Oskar is steadily losing self control. The other is that I don't think he likes the other boy, and was just imagining what he would do to him (this has been happening more frequently, where he includes in the text what he wanted to do, and then goes on to say what he actually did.)
