Things nearest the center would move towards the center at an accelerated rate. So observation from the perspective of an object falling in the black hole could be everything is expanding? Since everything is getting compressed as it goes toward the center. I’m not an expert on anything but it seems like an intriguing concept.

It won't work like that, the expansion we observe has no directional bias. If it were due to some collapse to a well defined point, we'd be able to tell the difference.
