If they “create” a black hole, wouldn’t it just start swallowing up everything around it? Wouldn’t need a bomb.

Ha! There's a sci-fi short story by H.B. Fyfe called Implode and Peddle that imagines the scenario you describe. After many failures trying to stop the black hole from sucking everything in, the government has to call in a Red Adair-type hero to solve the problem. He ends up using a wonderful capitalistic approach to save the day - and provide clean energy in the process.
