How has cosmic background radiation helped us determine the age of the universe?

The CMBR did not reveal anything DIRECTLY about the age of our Universe. However, its spectrum and isotropy are almost perfectly as predicted by a Universe that began to expand about thirteen billion years ago -- a timeline given by the Hubble Constant. As such, it gives extremely strong support to that timeline.

Which theory proposes that all the matter in the universe simply exploded outward after it was compressed into a small space under tremendous pressure?

The big bang theory does not state that "the universe began with a gigantic explosion." The theory suggests that our universe originated from an infinitesimally small point called a singularity. Since all of space was all localized within this point, the rapid expansion of the universe isn't an explosion. An explosion occurs within space, but the expansion of space itself isn't an explosion. Quite simply, there isn't anything outside of space for the universe to explode into. Thus the "big bang" wasn't big, nor did it go bang. Around the time of the big bang (about 13.7 billion years ago), the universe was much hotter and expanding very rapidly (somewhat analogous to an explosion but by no means an actual explosion).
