The farther away a galaxy, the faster it will go away from us. Check the Wikipedia article on "Hubble's Law" for more details. According to the article, the currently accepted value for the "Hubble constant" is 74.2 ± 3.6 (km/s)/Mpc. That is to say, if a galaxy is at a distance of 1 Megaparsec, on average our distance from this galaxy will increase at a rate of about 74 km/s. For a galaxy at 2 Megaparsec distance, the speed would increase at twice this value, etc.

It is not exactly expanding into anything. The galaxies are moving apart from each other, from which we can infer that the universe is expanding. Theoretically, this is a result of the Big Bang, in which the universe began when all matter was compacted into a very tiny sum, and then exploded apart in a very big bang, and as a result is still expanding today.
