Hi can I resize layer which contains some image, but leave the image size intact? In other words just change layer boundaries.

Use the 'Free Transform' command. Check the chainlink between the height and width field to maintain aspect ratio.
This is what I do:
- Select the layer with transparency
- Click on Menu item Layer, Layer Mask, From Transparency.
The transparency will be converted into a layer mask, that you can manipulate from there.
EDIT: in Photoshop CS5 or later.

You can resize the canvas, but not the layers, unless the image itself is on a separate layer on top of the layer that needs resizing.
