The big thing about the idea of God being who is lies in the fact that because he was the one who created the multiverse of Supernatural, that brings the idea that he didn't need help, only that he worked creation in a way that many things come about as a result. As I've said before, what Carver is doing with the idea of the Darkness is not a new concept in fictional writing. DC and Marvek comics did it before, and they made it clear that the Darkness in their universes came after creation, never before (again, how could darkness exist before creation of there wasn't anything until God gave the word). As to the thing about leviathans, I researched s7ep1. Death said "Long before God created angel and man", and archangels still fall under the general category of being Angels. At the end of season 10, death then mentioned the darkness and that's where he said before there was light and God and he said archangels fought he darkness before creation (even though as I quoted, he said in s7 "long before God created angel and man (not a lower category), he created leviathan" so in essence Death said God made leviathan first, then it became something of a retcon in season 10 when the darkness was mentioned.

An idea that a friend of mine discussed with me was that because God exists outside of creation as we know it, God himself would be eternal because God exists outside of time and space as we know it. So when he was creating the multiverse of Supernatural, "God separated light from darkness" in Genesis, the darkness could've gained some kind of thought because it was primordial chaos and God simply used his power to work it to how he wanted.

And again, as far as the empty from what Billy said, we can't really assume that anything came from it because it's meant to be a place where you go but can't get out of because it means total oblivion, and it makes sense that God would be the only who could pull someone out given his status as the Creator.

Also, I wouldn't go so far as to say Sam and Dean were the bad guys and death was the good guy, because how would they have known about the Darkness until Death mentioned it, which is why I made it a point of saying how the writing in season 10 was the worst of any season. The only clue about the darkness was that mentioning of the nun who had visions, and it was very flimsy because there was no other reference to the darkness that became Amara. It would've been a more comprehensive story if Dean had seen those same visions, and not just the urge to kill, but instead we got entire season of Dean getting back to normal with no other backstory about the cosmology of the show. Season 10 was poorly planned in terms of story arc, and was more playing up drama, which made things inconsistent. As I said, I graduated from college with a degree in English with a concentration on creative writing, so I can spot inconsistencies thanks to what I've learned.
