I know this is highly speculative conjecture, but regardless... Hawking seems to argue that because of these laws it means a universe can come from absolute nothing without a cause.

nobody knows the answer to this. Nobody
Agreed

The unknown or undiscovered universe (-conjecture) is the same (just no objects in it yet ...isn't that what we mean by the "known" universe is getting bigger?)
Surely the universe isn't banging on the walls of the "sandbox" and stretching it out.

From our current understanding of the universe, the universe is getting bigger. This is known by how fast objects are moving away from us. Also, the universe has no borders just like a surface of the earth has no borders. You can go in one direction and eventually come back to the same spot.

To suggest there exist something else is unfounded. The popular multiverse theory is motivated by m-theory (string theory v2.0), which has NOT been tested. It's just spectulation based on mathematical metaphysics.
