Here's a starter with tcolorbox. I do not have your section and subsection styles, so this is with default styles. Please note that the tcolorbox manual is no quick read, it requires some patience.

In the code example the box is drawn with optional arguments, but feel free to use newtcolorbox instead if your original aim was to shorten the code.

  @Educ You do not provide your sectioning style (you're using a styled subsubsection for the picture as it seems), so I don't attempt to replicate it. As you are using a different setup to create the picture in your question than your MWE produces, I only try to give you a starter on the box you've asked for.

begindocument

The environment takes an optional argument which specifies the used total width. Content width is calculated based on total width, customboxInnerSep, customboxRuleWidth and customboxShadowWidth.

It doesn't add any outer spacing.

Here's a starter with tcolorbox. I do not have your section and subsection styles, so this is with default styles. Please note that the tcolorbox manual is no quick read, it requires some patience.

In the code example the box is drawn with optional arguments, but feel free to use newtcolorbox instead if your original aim was to shorten the code.

It doesn't add any outer spacing.
