How did you acquire knowledge of a being that exists outside of our universe, or what the laws of that other x might -or- might not be? You probably don't have any knowledge of me, or what laws I live under...and I'm in the universe talking to you. To be blunt, if god exists outside of our universe, then his existence is moot, as it's functionally identical to non-existence in -this- universe. If god isn't in my "realm of existence", why should I give a shit about god stuff?
This does not follow.
God exists outside of our universe (space and time, etc.), but He can act within our space and time when He chooses to do so.
As for how we acquire knowledge of this God, there are three ways that come to mind:
1. Reason.
2. Natural Law.
3. Revelation.
As for why you should care, the answer is simple: You're not going to be part of this "realm of existence" forever. There's more to come.
