Apparently the force of expansion we have observed is weaker than the force of gravity over less-than-intergalactic distances. So the expanding universe wouldn't move the Earth away from the Sun.

Also, we don't observe the Earth moving away from the Sun, and we don't observe the Earth's diameter increasing.
