I just stumbled upon this, too, during normal work with LibreOffice.
It's not extremely intuitive and I believe it would be good to at
least make the influence of the Alignment options clearer. Would you
mind opening a bug for this? (Preferably with some concrete idea(s)
how to solve this.)
See here: https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/bug/
(I'd be personally interested in the bug number.)

Next... the easiest way to resize a table is to use the rulers/table
borders. Making the rulers/borders work in a better way (more
information, more exactitude, maybe snapping) is probably an even
better way to cope with the problem.
