Correct, because expanding a disk is not the same as expanding a
partition, and expanding a partition is not the same as expanding a
filesystem.

Not yet, but it's currently in our list of GSoC 2011 ideas:
http://www.haiku-os.org/community/gsoc/2011/ideas
(See: "BFS Partition Resizer")
What I would recommend is creating a new virtual disk, initializing it
with DriveSetup, and using the Installer to install your existing
setup to it. Note: I only recommend doing this with a version of Haiku
> r40820 as there was a nice addition to the Installer that copies
indexes to the target partition now ;)
