What does the intergalactic medium look like? Is it even realistically feasible to be able to travel this much distance, hypothetically?

By just normal propulsion/inertial travel? Hard to say. There's a lot of logistical problems. With the warp drives and other spacetime manipulation tech they refuse to make public for global security concerns, it's ezpz and the external conditions don't matter because you create a sub-spacetime bubble around the craft that is partitioned from everything else.

The medium is a very thin cloud of ions, roughly a few hundred kilograms of atoms per cubic lightyear. Of course, there are a lot of cubic lightyears, so it does add up to a big mass.

I knew it was empty, but i didn't know it was THAT empty.

if it was 2.5 million lightyears away 2.5 million years ago... how far is it now? and let's say we invent light speed travel today, how long would it really take yo get there?

It looks like nothing.

How long would it take to pump an empty can floating in space with intergalactic medium until it reaches 1 bar using the most advanced air compressor

It is possible if you wait long enough

If you travel at light speed it takes no time at all
