While sun would grow in size, it would also be losing mass. This reduces the centripetal force of revolution. The orbit would indeed expand.

The loss of mass is insignificant and we are talking 0,5B years.
Sun will be loosing a lot of mass later, but that will be way after Earth has been baked to a crisp.
