Is ancient Rome part of ancient Greece?
Macedonia or "Makedonia" in Greek is a province of the northern Greek peninsula that began in ancient times as the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedonia until it was absorbed into the rest of Greece. So it was always a part of the Greek world although interpretations of political systems have varied from ancient to modern times.
Since 1946 there is also a country to the north that inhabits the territory that in ancient times was the land of Paeonia and Dardania and whose inhabitants are a mixture of Albanians, Slavs, Turks and Shutka people. As part of communist Yugoslavia, it was named Vardar Banovina but was renamed the Peoples Republic of Macedonia, under the communist leadership of Joseph Broz Tito, in order to lay claim to Greece's northern province. This land was never part of historical Macedonia proper.

Why is ancient rome better than ancient Greece?
neither is better because they both fell
The answer above is not the best answer...at all. Both civilizations were very unique and fascinating, creating some of the things we still use today. This question depends on opinion, really. Some people that live in Italy, have Roman ancestors, like the Romans, say that the Roman Empire was better. In some ways, it was, but Greece was the real deal. Most of everything the Roman Empire was based around was taken from Greece, molded a bit, and resold.
I mean, if a kid living nearby wants to set up a lemonade stand, he goes and buys lemons, lemonade mix, etc. That makes the little kid the Roman Empire, and the lemonade mix the Greek Empire. But to make the lemonade, or the new empire, the Roman Empire puts all the stuff in water, mixes in some sugar, and bam. It's something completely different! It's the new Roman Empire, with a hint of Greece in it.
Sorry, I'm rambling a bit, but this question may be almost purely opinionated. As a Greek with many Greek ancestors, I would say Greece is better than Rome. But, my friend, who is Italian, argues that Rome is better than Greece.

How did Athens build a new empire?
There was no Greek empire. It never existed. The closest Greece ever came to an empire was during the exploits of Alexander the Great but everything fell apart after Alexander' death. Greece was a collection of independent city-states who only united in the case of a severe crisis and when the trouble was over they went back to their former independent governments.
After the death of Alexander the Great, Greece did not become a just collection of city-states. A number of kingdoms were formed. What was left of Alexander's conquests was partitioned, creating the Kingdom of Pergamon (in western Turkey), the Seleucid Empire (Syria, Mesopotamia, and part of Turkey) and the Ptolemaic Kingdom (Egypt and parts of Turkey). The Kingdom of Macedon in mainland Greece was formed as part of the partition. The kingdoms outside Greece were ruled by Greeks and it was this that led to the Hellenistic period, the period when Greek influence spread in the Middle East and Egypt.
In Greece the Kingdom of Macedon was the largest and the dominant state. It covered northern and central Greece. It was this kingdom which the Romans fought in the four Macedonian Wars. There was also the Kingdom of Epirus, which covered the west of Greece.
There were two alliances of Greek groups of city-states: the Aetolian League in southern-central Greece and the Achaean League in the Peloponnese (in southern Greece). These military alliances made these two groups of city-states important military forces. There were formed for defence against Macedon and against Sparta respectively. Sparta and Athens remained important city-states.
