growing from the size of a marble to a volume larger than all of observable space in less than a trillion-trillionth of a second.

Doesn't that violate the law that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light?

Nope, things aren't allowed to move through spacetime faster than the speed of light, but spacetime can stretch and carry stuff with it that fast.

No. Space is expanding, but the objects (mass) in space do not move.
