Can somebody explain to me how other countries and you get this CB? I thought it's once you cross 100% overextension, but with venice they attacked me when I had only 36%. And how much aggressive expansion matters? Does it only affect relations with countries or other things?

Overextension is completely irrelevant to questions of being Dishonorable Scum.

Country A gets the Dishonorable Scum CB against country B when the following are true:
  • Country A's opinion of Country B is affected by the Aggressive Expansion modifier (i.e. country B is a bad boy)
  • The size of that modifier is -50 or worse.
  • Country A's opinion of Country B is -100 or worse.

One more thing, is there a way to make aggressive expansion decrease faster? I am looking at the ideas and can't find anything.

Perhaps in EU4 you need to manage it more indirect through diplomatic reputation and relations. There are ideas that help you with these. To me it also seems the case that prevention is better than curing, like in EU3: use the right Casus Belli and such to prevent getting the penalty at all.

Not to my knowledge, no. You're just going to have to try and balance it out by improving relations and bribing your neighbors to keep the relationship even.
