What you call glands are probably lymph nodes. Yes, they will swell. They are part of the immune response.

If my glands are swollen and my spit had spots of blood then it my phlemg had large spots of quite dark blood am i dying?

No, I don't think you are dying. However, you should go and see your doctor and tell them about the symptoms as they are not something to ignore. Given that your glands are swollen, you are phlegmy etc the blood could have come down from a sinus infection, this is not uncommon in sinus congestion. Maybe you can get a doctors appointment today.

Could an inflamed muscle in the neck cause lymph nodes in the region to become swollen?

If the lymph node is large, rubbery and kind of painful like a bruise, then you have reactive lymphadenopathy. This is an immune reaction to infection. If the inflamed muscle is inflamed because of an infection, then yes, it could be a cause of the node's appearance. If on the other hand, you just pulled the muscle, then it is highly unlikely to be infected, so it would expected that there would be another cause for the lymph node. Often there are small skin infections (say an infected scab or pimple) which can cause reactive nodes. If you are not satisfied, see your doctor so they can properly investigate the swelling. Hope that helps! Aj :)
