IANAP, but as I understand it, local clusters will remain close together due to the stronger forces of attraction they have on each other. As these clusters constitute several galaxies, I assume groupings of atoms would also stick together.

Yep, there's a sweet spot where gravity overtakes the expansion due to inverse square law. And of course, atoms and molecules are held together with forces that are stronger than gravity - at those distances, at least

I had the same thought.
