Auto resize layer boundary after moving layer?

No automatic way that I know of.

You could assign a keyboard shortcut to layer-to-image-size for convenience.

You might consider just adding a new layer for additional painting, that way when you save your work as a Gimp .xcf the bit of the moved layer outside the canvas boundary is still there in case you ever need it.
