Only if you define everything as everything in the reach or influence of the big bang.
I believe we call that the "universe".

An explosion is an explosion. It's just a matter of scale. How do you apply that to what we're observing?
The big bang was a universal explosion. Trying to fit it in the box of it being just another explosion really limits the ability to describe what (theoretically) happened.

Right. It's still a limited set. It assumes without evidence that the universe is everything there is and there is nothing outside it.

Does not explain why a limited envelope of matter surrounds us apparently equally in all directions.
Models of the big bang generally show either a shotgun blast or a central explosion going off in opposing directions.
