dosfstools is missing some tool which can resize existing FAT partition. Similar to ext*'s resize2fs.

Also there is missing a tool which can change/extend maximal number of entries in the FAT12/16 root directory.

Yes, but it is not part of dosfstools, depends on libparted, does not support FAT12 and does not support changing number of entries in root directory.
