  1. For the same reason as everybody else. Because all the Galaxies are moving apart, at some time they must have been much closer together.

Absolutely. It can be anywhere out of the viewable range of the edge. All Galaxies are still going to be moving away from each other in a uniform way. It can't be within a viewable range of the edge otherwise we would notice a lack of stars from the area outside.
