But we’re talking about today. Not 13 billion years ago. That galaxy is at a distance 13 billion light years away *today*. 13 billion years ago we were ‘inches’ away from it, or something like that. We were so close we could smell it!

I don’t think so. That would mean the galaxies were expanding away from each other at 99.99999% of the speed of light just barely keeping ahead of the light until it caught up with us after 13 billion years.

The light we are seeing left that galaxy 13 billion years ago. If the galaxies are all expanding, as they say they are, then it is a lot further than 13 billion light years away right now.
