if its constantly expanding what's it expanding into?

It is generally accepted that all the matter in the universe was there, and theoretically was compressed into the size of a point.
Nothing was created or destroyed, it just exploded into a larger, less compressed size.
To have this discussion, read more about infinite largeness and infinite smallness. Your understanding of the size of atoms and particles is probably wrong.
How did pun sized pre-exploded mass get there? I believe it was created. Who created it? No clue.

If you believe in the multiverse theory, then it is quite possible our big bang was the result of a super massive blackhole in a different universe. The blackhole collects so much matter that it forces and explosion out into another space/time. There are probably an infinite number of universes. Universes are born and die and a never ending cycle matter collection and explosion.

You could simply use that same silly answer for the matter and anti matter that started the Big Bang.
Where did matter and anti-matter come from?
No matter what you think there had to be something here before the universe existed.

No one knows. Predictive mathematics fail slightly ahead of time zero. And obviously no one here witnessed it.
Only constructive thing I can include here is a lot of people think of it as an explosion in empty space.
It was an explosion OF space. Our entire plane of existence wasn’t there until the bang.
To understand what happened then we will need to do a lot more work in being able to manlipulate and observe space time and the quantum foam.

You can’t have “nothing” without “something.” You can’t have “something” without “nothing.” Therefore, our reality, our “space,” is how it must be. There can be no other reality. It just is.

The previous incarnation of the universe. It is theorized that the previous universe collapsed upon itself, much like a super massive black hole.
When the density became to high, it couldn't withstand the pressure and exploded.

When God actually speaks there is a BIG BANG!
BANG there you go.

Not directed at you specifically, but why do people always assume it’s “WHO” created it? Why not what caused it to be created? Ever stop to think that “who”—a mysterious puppet master that exists yet nothing else does—doesn’t make any sense?

Utilization of the "who" pronoun is simply the result of a limited human mind attempting to answer questions which transcend human understanding.
In regards to God, I see no difference between "who" and "what." To a theist, they mean they same thing in this context.
Why can't the "who" be the "what" that caused it to be created? Or phrased another way, why can't the "who" be the creator of the "what" that caused it to be created?

No clue. I think you're onto something here. Our ancestors were not stupid. They didn't have the technology we have today, but they were great thinkers. So essentially without the technology and knowledge of physics that we have today, they came to this same conclusion or dead end, shall we say. That is when God was created. At least in the minds of people. He, she or it may have existed long before that. Maybe always. No one really knows. But, at least in our known world, everything must be preceded by something else. So they called that something God.
Some people contend that our knowledge of the creation of the universe, be it by a god or the big bang, has not reached a dead end at all. That we are still learning. And maybe we are. But if it all ends up at a black hole? I'm fairly certain humans will never know what is on the other side. We can hypothesize, but will never be certain. At least not in a thousand lifetimes or more.
So with all of our efforts to solve these mysteries through the centuries, we're really no closer to an answer than we were the first time man looked up into the sky and pondered this question.
On the other hand, we have made tremendous strides in developing more potent strains of cannabis.

Why can't God & a Big Bang BOTH be true?
It always feels like people want to argue it as 1 OR the other.
Why can't we fathom/reason/accept that "God" was conscious of/to himself, was lonely, & created?
Personally, I believe in the Cliff Notes version of The King James Bible (due to untold number of edits/revisions/translations) & follow what I feel is a positive moral set of values + I believe in as much science as I can follow. My pea brain can only take say much.

I went to church several years with Donald Lydenbell-Bell before he died. He was responsible for discovering black holes. We discussed these issues at great length during the fellowship hour. He was a really nice gentleman and kind to my son in answering such questions.
