You don't see the objects themselves, but rather the light that has reflected off of them. That reflection travels toward us at the speed of light, and with enough distance we will see the object as older due to the amount of time it takes for the reflected light to reach us.

How are quasars older than the universe?

Of course they aren't. At times, it may have seemed that certain objects in the Universe were older than the Universe, due to wrong estimates about (a) the age of the Universe, or (b) the age of the corresponding objects. But, as more exact calculations become available, these discrepancies are solved. The fact that some objects seemed to be older than the Universe was, precisely, an indication that something was wrong in the age calculations.

A device that makes objects in space seem brighter and closer than they are?

A magnifying lens or telescope could achieve this effect by collecting and focusing more light from distant objects, making them appear brighter and larger. However, there is no device that can truly make objects in space seem closer than they actually are, as distance in space is vast and cannot be physically altered.

How do things react in space?

In space, objects react differently than on Earth due to the absence of gravity. Objects will float and continue moving unless acted upon by another force. Additionally, extreme temperatures can affect how materials behave in space.
