The most distant galaxies we can see are about 13.8 billion years old, and because of the expansion of the universe they are thought to be about 46 billion light years away, giving an estimated size of the universe of ~93 billion light years in diameter. But if I was in one of those distant galaxies, would I see more galaxies in every direction that are 46 billion light years further out? And wouldn’t this be repeatable forever?

Probably. It depends on how the expansion of the Universe works. If it’s uniform everywhere (the simplest model, and one that appears to be very close to the truth in *our* observable Universe), then yes. If not, it could vary from point to point, or even direction to direction.
