I would consider the universe as one living thing that started as a tiny dot of immeasurable heat, pressure and temperature. It then went on to create space, galaxies, stars. Stars created complex atoms (Carbon, Oxygen), and blew apart. The resulting dust compacted into planets. On one of these planet biological life began, and evolved all the way to us.
So the universe was born, it grows and evolves. And it might very well reproduce (black hole have been theorized as being small big bangs creating new "baby" universes) although the jury is still hung on this last question. The universe will certainly die one day: either of old age (the stars will extinguish their fuel and check out one by one) or through another contraction.
So YES it is definitely alive. Some might even call it God.

The first ? is not able to be tested by our current understanding of science and be proven true or false, validated or invalidated.
The 2nd ? has answers which are theorized and tested to current standards, and the currently accepted answer is the Big Bang. That would be a where and when it came from, but since the universe did not exist as we know it before that, the meanings of where and when need to be altered as well.

You can look up cosmology or the big bang, or the ekpyrotic scenario to read about how the Universe might have began.
Its obviously NOT a living thing - how can you even ask that? Do you think your sofa is alive?

It depends on your meaning of living. Fire is a living thing. The universe expands and contracts. It evolves and changes. It came from the begining of time and the end of another.
