Field values are read-only in JavaScript rules. In other words, you can't "set" them to anything other than the actual values in your data source. If you need to calculate something else, instead of trying to make a "third field" to put the result into, just return the result from your rule, and you can use the rule's value as a text variable, just like a field value. (You can also create a rule with the same name as a field, and the rule will override the field value when called out as a text variable.)
As for resizing things in FusionPro, that kind of variable layout is hard to do with Desktop. However, if you're using FusionPro Server, you can use the DIF API to modify all aspects of the layout programmatically. We actually offer a built-in Ad Resizing feature as an add-on to Server.
