Nope. It is not expanding into anything: space itself is expanding.

That is not a "yet", it is a separate issue.

Because the question rests on erroneous ideas. It is not expanding
into anything: space is a property of the Universe, there is no
outside space.

Nope, wrong there as well. And these are not presumptions or
assumptions, these are scientific conclusions. They may be wrong, but
you should really try to understand them before you object. There has
always been whatever there is since time, as well as space, are
properties of the Universe and exist with the Universe. There was no
*time* where there was nothing.
