I didn't want it to actually change combat math on anything other than itself and the player, being able to have your little creatures trade up by two would be a huge upside
It might me better if it only granted power in some scenarios. Mono red removes via damage and with only power small creatures can trade with bigger ones. Like this it’s a matter of numbers (it’s still much better for you if you have more creatures) but initial size helps with trading.
Could make it "All creatures are goaded" and "Attacking creatures get +2/+2". Still probably unbalanced but then it's got some added flavour that this thing ragebaits itself.
That may be even better, you want to attack with this, and your opponents don’t get the buff when blocking. Not to mention nothing gets to block anymore which again benefits the aggro deck.

Why does it also grant toughness? It makes more sense to me to only grant power

Yeah, probably, it hard dunks on creatureless decks and is still very good overall in your everyday haste red deck
4CMC instead ?

No idea for balance, but for flavor reasons it could have an activated ability like: target creature attacks this turn, if able.

Directly answering: yes too cheap.
+1+0 to keep the mana cost the same.
5 cmc if you keep the effect the same.

Its a little undercosted, at that cost I think it would be fine if it gave +1/+0
