That is the common way of expressing it.

It is not embedded in some more fundamental
manifold, space isn't "in" anything.

It is indeed.

Don't confuse SR and GR, the limit is local.
Consider a galaxy we can see perhaps 10 billion
light years away. Space between us and it is
expanding so the distance is increasing at a
significant proportion of the speed of light.
However, light within that galaxy is moving
past its stars at the speed of light relative
to those stars in all directions.

The reasoning is valid only for objects sufficiently
far apart, the speed is proportional to the distance.

Correct, it is called a "horizon".

No, object x is still moving relative to a.

Indeed, your ideas are bizarre.

Perhaps that's true, your infantile response
appears to confirm it.
