'Nothing comes out of nothing' - means without pre-existence of material cause, nothing can be produced or created. This is a very simple truth to apprehend.
You have asked: "'what was there before the Big Bang?". Scientists have been doing research on this, but I would say here that whatever may be the scientists settled view on this, one thing is sure that the basic material cause of the universe (primordial matter = mool prakriti) was pre-existent. Because from absence nothing can be created. God acted on that material-cause and created this most-scientific and wonderful universe.
To your question - "What is God and who created God?" - I would like to state that: God is a universal spirit Who permeates the whole universe, Who is a true personification of Existence, Consciousness and Bliss; Whose nature, attributes and characteristics are Holy; Who is Omniscient, Formless, All-pervading, Unborn, Infinite, Almighty, Just and Merciful; Who is the author of the universe and sustains and dissolves it: Who awards all souls the fruits of their deeds in strict accordance with the requirements of absolute justice and possessed of the like attributes.
God is eternal, He is not created or made out of something at some point of time. He is eternally existing and will continue to exist for ever. There has been no cause of Him.
God is not a creation of human mind, but all creatures (only bodies - not souls) and entire universe have been created by Him.
I find Swami Dayananda's theory (originally Vedic teachings - Vedas are revealed knowledge of God) most rational and convincing. That is why I quote his name wherever I find it necessary. He was a person who restated the eternal Vedic truths in modern times.
For better understanding I request you to read Dayananda's Satyarth-Prakash.
