Anything's possible. If by explore you mean observing with telescopes and different instruments, then you may be right.
If you mean by sending spacecraft of one type or another, then the universe would only be as large as our solar system (the farthest probes, Voyager 1 and 2 aren't even past the Oort Cloud yet) and we know that's not correct.

Such questions are by their nature unanswerable because the only way to answer it is to see if something is there *before* you explore it, which is a logical contradiction. That makes it a word game instead of physics.

No - because that would be assuming that we are the only intelligent beings withing out explored boundaries which most likely we are not.

No and yes.
No, because the Universe is already there.
Yes, because we don't know how much of the Universe is there, thus, when we see it, we know it is there.

only if you believe a tree falling in the forest will not make a noise if no one is around to hear it.
