I don't think there are any aliens ahead of us in development in our galaxy or they'd be here already. If we head on out ourselves and meet aliens out there then it all depends - if we compete for the same types of space real estate and resources then Darwin probably rules and it becomes survival of the fittest. Doesn't necessarily mean warfare - it could be as simple as who can tolerate the widest range of interstellar environments at the lowest expenditure of resources, who self-replicates more quickly, etc.
Gosh that first question you asked Willenstarke is as big as space itself. And is this the only universe? In which case are you asking the question about just our own universe or about the matrix that holds all the universes (if there are any others)? This article is an interesting take on the subject:

That's a good read. I do like the idea of endless energy, but how and where it would come from would worry me. As it could be a natural resource from another planet or man-made with potential dangers.
I have thought about multiverse. I mean is there another universe out there besides the one where living in? Lol all this sciencey stuff .
