If you are running Lion then full screen is obtained by clicking the arrows in the top right hand corner of the window. Which is true of all windows in Lion, it pops you into a separate desktop and a two finger swipe will get you back to the OS X desktop. Quite nice, I don't use the coherence mode any more because of that.
Typically, when you can't resize windows etc. that is an indication that the Parallels tools are not installed or are incorrectly installed. I've had success in the past of un-installing and reinstalling.
