Does such a thing exist? I mean a spacer to go on the front of a surface or drywall box, between the box & socket outlet to increase the internal space?

ISTR they used to be available, but I stopped house bashing in the early 90's...
Yes, but I'm not sure how you would plan to use it on a drywall box...
Found them eventually in the Appleby catalogue. Page 3.

Not really. You need to drill out the screw threads (or press out the brass inserts) and possibly use longer crews through those holes to pick up the original threads in the backing box.
Yup
