Well, I guess the word broad here is used to show that light makes the world seem broad - i.e. wide open...
The antonyms of broad include narrow but people don't generally use it because narrow suggests something linear, which darkness isn't. However, a google search for the phrase "narrow darkness" retrieves 1,160 results most of which seem to be literary - so it is used, if rarely.
I think a more common way of thinking of it would be to take broad as open and in that sense the phrase "enveloping darkness" suggests that the darkness is closing around you and is a better opposite (and gets 13,800 google hits!)

No, darkness is just as broad. I wonder where or when the term broad daylight came from. Hey, you could ask that next!

Yes, but the english language is one of the most complex languages to learn, because it always has exceptions to the rules. This, in turn, is one exception.

"broad" in this sense means "full". You could have full darkness as well.

No, it should be "fella".
