No, it's space between galaxies which is expanding, in galaxies gravity prevents scattering of matter.

I was wondering if it is possible that our universe if you could see it all could look like a Galaxy?
Yes, an active galaxy with polar jets is a good model. The Universe tends to be fractal.

Yes.
If so could that be a model for galaxies moving in and around a center of our universe?
Yes.
Would that eliminate expansion?
No, if the chaotic expansion is occurring locally in a polar jet (think really big here).
Would the center be were all the dark matter went? Super humongous massive dark matter black hole?
Black hole yes, 'dark matter' = 'fudge factor'.
If our univers is not modeled like a galaxy then it is nearly the only thing that does not behave in this manner. Planets, moons, asteroids and solar systems all behave like this.
Two things that can induce spin are spin (!) and Lorentz forces (see Hannes Alfven).
The universe could also be like this in my opinion but the center and the rest of it are so far apart that we can not see it all to prove or disprove it.
!Carramba! You've got it! Very well done!!
No, they don't move away from each others, they all just orbit center of Milky Way. And because orbital movement varies depending from distance to center it causes "apparent" movement that some of them would be going away while it's just temporary movement caused by orbits.
