Depends on the stuff, but its not rigididy of container but how closely the stuff is packed together.
The closer the stuff is packed together, the faster the chemical reaction. This is countered if the strength of the container must be very high to keep the stuff packed where the reaction will happen quickly and release all the energy at once but not have enough energy to effectively break out of the container.
Only if the explosive has enough force to actually rupture the container. Putting gunpowder in a pipe works because the pipe lets the energy build up and then release in a single catastrophic burst. If the container is too strong for your explosion to break, you just contained the explosion. I have no idea if whatever he used would have actually caused much more damage in a regular car, though; my understanding was that it was mostly fireworks, which just don't have that much force (because they're not destructive devices).
Don't rigidly sealed containers make explosives stronger?
Like a pile of gunpowder is a smoke machine, a pile of gunpowder in a can is a grenade, right? lmfao

No, it's the opposite. That's why hand grenades are famously harmless.
I mean they never seem to hurt anyone when I throw them in video games
Ah, another ChatGPT-trained explosives expert!
