Sure, iPartition and VolumeWorks can both do that. Do a search for them a versiontracker.com. It's still a bit risky so make sure you're all backed up first.

No, they can only resize HFS+ partitions.

resizing NTFS or FAT partitions is never a good idea. And I'm guessing that i am not the only one here when i say i've had a bad experience in doing so.
