That really is amazing. Could this or a similar but larger event be what's behind the universe coming together instead of expanding as previously believed?

No. The Local Group of galaxies are coming together due to the attraction of a Super Cluster but it is not to be confused with the fact that Dark Energy is causing the rapid expansion of the Universe so that eventually galaxies with be out of view of each other. One is a short term effect due to gravity and the latter is an as yet unexplainable phenomenon that only just begun 4 billion years ago.
