They say the universe is expanding. They also say it all came from a single place/state. So if everything is expanding in all different directions, wouldn’t we observe some galaxies actually moving towards us as well? It just seems like if everything is expanding away from us (nothing coming towards us), then that is assuming that Earth is the center of the universe (which is wrong obviously).

That is where you are mistaken. It came from a singularity where everything was very close together, but it was also the case that every**where** was close together. All possible locations were near to each other.
Now on the large scale everything is moving away from everything else simultaneously because all locations are becoming more distant.
