If everything in the universe is moving rapidly away from everything else, why are our two galaxies (Milky Way and Andromeda) going to collide in a few billion years time?

the rate of the two universes heading toward each other is faster than the rate at which the universe is expanding. No shit

Astronomy is usually used as a blanket term for cosmology, astrophysics and sometimes astrobiology.
Astrophysics is a relatively new field of Science and everything we've learned from it has brought us many steps closer to understanding exactly how the universe was created and also will help us to one day live on other planets when our race outlives the earth.

That is a collision, even though very little mass from either galaxy actually comes into contact with mass from the other

We HAVE seen simulated galaxies collide, and that's what the do, they pass right through with a negligible chance of collision.
Do you have any idea how low the number density of planets even near the galactic center is?

No.
The space between them is expanding.
Not the same thing.
