The stich you made is called the extended sc. You can extend any stitch by pulling thru one loop before completing the stitch as normal, and this will add extra height to your rows. I like to use esc a lot because I'm not a very big fan of hdc or dc.

My guess is that the reason your work is getting wider is because your tension isn't even... or you made the staring chain pretty tight. Or you could be adding stitches.
