A) Yes and no, The distances things move in our lifetimes is so minute as to not be needed for inclusion
B) Doppler (or red shift) shows the speed at which the object is moving away from us. Or in the case of M31 toward us
C) No it doesn't when something is 125,000,000,000,000,000,000 miles away, us moving through space even at light speed would not change the perceived distance to another galaxy. Said another way, 100 light years (a lifetime of traveling at light speed) is within the margin of error of something 30,000,000 light years away.

Do you realize the backups we have to this second coming of Matt Cassel have NEVER EVER thrown a regular season pass.
