Ok, I'm not a specialist, but what you say is like:
1) /root is mount on / (that's normal :-)

2) / is getting full because you use the dir /root to much: move files
from /root to another user's dir (those files would then be in
/usr/home/your_user)

3) Delete or move /root/.netscape to /usr/home/your_user. Run Netscape
has a user, don't forget to empty the trash folder after each sessions.
Netscape tend to !@#%$#@!% when the mail file is to big.

4) /usr is ok.

5) no need to resize the disk

Thank You
