Would a tsunami have a “pull” like a normal wave?

Would it have a stronger pull or the same, and would it get stronger the bigger the wave was?

The water that was carried onto the land by the tsunami retreats backwards into the open sea. This is arguably the most dangerous part of a tsunami. The force of the watermasses can carry lots of debris with it and knock loose lots of objects; Cars, boats, even houses or parts of them at least. People might survive the initial arrival of the wave. They may perhaps hide behind objects so that they are not directly hit. But when the water retreats, everything that is not firmly connected to the ground will be dragged with the water. Debris is thrown around everywhere potentially killing many. 
Even if you can survive the debris you will not be able to hold on to anything so you will be simply swept away onto the open ocean.  

What you should know is that tsunamis are not like "normal" waves. They are more like an extremely rapid and big tide. They are not one small wavepeak with a small wavelength, but much more long and drawn out waves. The strength of the pull depends on the amount of water it carries, the momentum and of course also the coastal bathymetry and topography.
