What conditions could cause it not to exist ?
Are you of the belief that nothing existed at some point in the past ?
I don't even know how that would be possible.
As for the expansion, not enough information to determine if it was natural instability or perhaps that's just the natural way these things happen.
As to my second question, your answer is basically that you don't know (correct me if I'm wrong)
So are you saying that the energy of the universe was not preceded by non-existence, in other words do you believe the universe was not preceded by non-existence. I mean in terms of sequence not time.
I have no reason to believe that non-existence is a state that can be achieved in an isolated system in which the conservation of energy applies.
As for what causes expansion, you are correct, I don't know, but cosmologists & physicists are studying that as we speak. I'm sure they know a great deal more than you or I do on the subject.
I'm trying to give my opinion on the topic as best as I understand it. And think that's what we all try to do.
It's our level of understanding that sometimes gets in the way. New information that changes our perspective can be scary at times.
That's why it's important to believe those things for which we have evidence for. We can create hypotheticals, but in the end, we still have to test those to see if they are true before we believe them.
