The thought here would be that things that are closer to the object would be pulling away from us at a faster rate towards that object.

Things that are farther away from us would be pulling away from us at a faster rate as it is moving slower than us. Everything is pulling away from us the further away the bigger the difference in redshift.
As we see everything moving AWAY from us in ALL directions, this would mean that there would be a big "shell like" structure around the "universe". And it has certainly been mentioned to you in one of your countless Q&A threads only the mass inside a sphere adds to gravitation, not what is outside of the sphere.

Unless you propose us to live in a mirror universe (mirrored e.g. wrt. a black hole horizon) one point CANNOT make the expansion.
