This should be because of the fact that the Universe is expanding. You see a blueshift when objects move closer to you. Other than super distant galaxies, most galaxies will not measure to be a blueshift due to the fact that the Universe is expanding and accelerating.
The observations show that the Universe is expanding. The farther a galaxy is away from us, the faster it moves away from us. Galaxies also have individual velocities, compared to their "local space", but those tend to be slow (in the order a few hundred kilometers per second), and at greater distances, the general expansion of the Universe dominates.
Large Doppler shifts indicate significant changes in the frequency or wavelength of light or sound waves due to the relative motion between the source and the observer. If the shift is towards shorter wavelengths (blue shift), it suggests that the source is moving closer, while a shift towards longer wavelengths (red shift) indicates the source is moving away. In astronomy, large red shifts are often associated with distant galaxies, providing evidence for the expansion of the universe.
For example, galaxies are very large, very massive, very bright, and (most of them) very far away from us.
Yes, galaxies at very large distances can appear distorted due to gravitational lensing effects caused by the bending of light by massive objects. This distortion can elongate or warp the images of distant galaxies, altering their perceived shapes.
That can be a large globular cluster, or a galaxy. Or any larger structure that includes galaxies.
Between them.

At the center of a large cluster, you'll usually find large and massive galaxies.
Elliptical galaxies are large blob shaped galaxies that most galaxies will eventually look like. Elliptical galaxies are what happens when two or more large galaxies collide and coalesce.
That is usually measured for large distances, such as the distance to other stars, or even to other galaxies. Another unit, the "parsec", is also common in this case.

Galaxies get bigger by a process of merging. The gravitational attraction of the galaxy and the dark matter round it pull in satellite galaxies and these merge with the main galaxy. Eventually large galaxies merge to form large elliptical galaxies. look at the link below.
Not just dwarf galaxies. Giant elliptical galaxies lie likely the result of many galaxies, small and large, merging.
Large and Dwarf.
If you counted 1 galaxy per second, it would take ~3200 years to count all 100 billion galaxies in the universe.
Canis Major Dwarf and Small Magellanic Cloud are irregular satellite galaxies of the Milky Way.The two irregular galaxies that orbit the Milky Way are the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds.
