I got an answer to my original question here (https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/page-tool-resize-causes-collision/m-p/13729595#M523721). The discussion is locked; I don't know why.

Not sure if this helps, but a lot of times after you make changes to a Master, oops Parent page, you have to re-apply the Parent to the actual pages.

Thank you, thank you! That wasn't exactly it, but it gave me a clue!

For others in the future, here's what worked:

1) Create NEW Parent Page in the desired size, 2 pages, so it appears as a spread. (What happened before was I resized a parent spread instead of making a new one, which caused overlap.)

2) Select pages to resize. Using Page Tool, change Liquid Page Rule to Scale (or desired option).

3) Apply new Parent to selected pages, checking Use parent page size if asked.
