Is it
INTERRUPT?
My prefix is a prefix of being worldwide
being worldwide = 'international' - Prefix 'inter'
My infix is a mistake, forgive and set aside
err is a synonym for mistake
My suffix is a suffix of bursting outside
erupt is a synonym for bursting out
For my attention, I disturb you, (and the earlier 'Use me with excuse')
When you interrupt someone you might say 'excuse me' before disturbing them.
Therefore:
inter + err + rupt (overlapping) forms interrupt
