Our epiphyllum oxypetalum is spreading like crazy, is this normal?

In my experience they grow long skinny leaves when they aren't getting enough sun. The skinny leaves won't get thicker, so I'd recommend snipping them off and moving it into a brighter spot.

To me it looks that it is desperately looking for something to grab onto and climb.
Definitely. They look like aerial roots. The plant needs a repot most likely and then try to get as many of those roots in the soil as you can without breaking them. They're looking for something to grab onto and support the plant so you might consider giving it a trellis or pole.
