Does this account for all the extra space being created - from what I have understood from "always right" youtube videos - parts of the universe are moving away from us with speed greater than the speed of light (or more precise the space between the points is increasing at rate higher than C, no actual movement is being done)

As I have pointed out upthread, the GP's "theory" is not correct, so it doesn't account for anything.

"Expansion of space" is just a consequence of the overall spacetime geometry of the universe, which is due to its overall average matter distribution (and to dark energy, which is what is causing the expansion to accelerate).
