Answer 1

Each molecule that gets sucked out (or rather blown out) will continue in the direction that it was blown out at until it hits something or else gravitational forces pull it somewhere where it might eventually hit something.

​

Imagine if you fired a gun in space, the bullet (and the gasses from the gunpowder) will go on forever until it hits something or is dragged into something by gravity.
