Does the Singularity spam its single target hold? If so, is it possible to perma-hold an AV as a Dominator then? Is it possible without Singularity if it is possible?

If you have it slotted for holds, and you are a permadom with a secondary that has powerboost. Honestly I could easily see a Grav/Earth doing it.

What about if you didn't have Powerboost?

I think you can but you will feel one of the two factors...

1. Without powerboost holding them is significantly harder

or

2 With Powerboost holding them is significantly easier

Honestly if I were making a build that was set to hold AV's I would definitely add powerboost in that equation. I am not sure but I think it also boosts the holds for the procs, that may not be true though

What's the animation time on grav's single target hold?

Fire/ and Mind/ can both permahold AVs up to level 53, even without power boost, with outrageously expensive builds (over 130 recharge). Ice/ can permahold level 50 AVs without powerboost (but not 51 or up). So you might be able to use that as a gauge. It will be hard to calculate how much mag singularity will contribute without actually testing. You'll want the MK 3 Power Analyzer for that.
