Layman here. To your second bullet, yes, the universe can be infinite but also be expanding. A rough analogy I've heard is that there are infinite points on the surface of a balloon, but if you blow it up more, the distance between any two given points will be greater than it was, so it has expanded. I don't think we know if the universe is infinitely large or not though.

We don't know, but the universe appears to be perfectly flat, which would indicate it's infinite.

That could also just be due to inflation, mind.
