Subject: how can we expect to see the first light?

hi i wanted to know two things, first of all is the universe expanding faster 
than the speed of light, which i think it does. secondly, if that's the case 
and the universe is expanding so fast, how is it that we expect to see the 
first light, whether from the first star or ffrom the big bang itself. wont be 
always be accelerating at superfast speeds while the light from that 
singularity always tries to catch up with us, and remains left behind?
