Maybe I'm not explaining my question correctly... but it seems to me that we can look 11 billion years in the past, then we should be able to also look 4 billion years in the past and see the forming of our own solar system.

Here is one way to visualize it: imagine the formation of our solar system was a "flash and bang" event. From that event the light began traveling in all directions. In order for us to see the event now would require that our solar system traveled in excess of the speed of light in order to get outside the sphere of light spreading from the formation event.

In order for us to see the event now would require that our solar system traveled in excess of the speed of light in order to get outside the sphere of light spreading from the formation event.

Exactly!

At the moment of creation (singularity), the light reaching us would be "immediate". Now if we were expanding at say half the speed of light, the light we would see wouldn't be 11B years old, but rather 6.5B. No?
