The simple answer to the simple question is no.
Cosmology is considering whether the universe will ever stop expanding and begin contracting, partly by seeking the value of the Hubble Constant. If it does begin contracting, then they are contemplating a Big Crunch symmetric to the Big Bang. With the possible exception of the variable speed of light theories of Joao Magueijo, none are considering any of this happening at light speed.

No. According to relativity, mass is condensed energy, time and speed is relative, but lightspeed is constant. Look up in Wikipedia for more details.

The dimension of space in the direction you are traveling would be condensed to nil length, so you would arrive at your destination instantly.
From the outside perspective, you thought it was a quick trip simply because your clock stopped during the trip.

Sort of. If you were traveling at 99.999% lightspeed, the universe would appear to be a point in front of you, since all the light you perceived would be hitting you from that angle.
