XMonad.Actions.FloatKeys might be of interest. 

This works for most applications, but does not work for most
terminals. The only terminal type i can use it with is
gnome-terminal. But when i use gnome-terminal as a
scratchpad-terminal, it won't work anymore. I can descrease the
window height, but not increase it.

Is this a know bug? Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

This is how i use floatkeys with namedscratchads in my config:

scratchpads = [
    NS "screen" "gnome-terminal --title=screen" (title =? "screen")             (customFloating $ W.RationalRect 0 0 1 0.57),
           ]
, ("M-i", namedScratchpadAction scratchpads "screen")
, ("M-o", withFocused (keysResizeWindow (0,20) (0,0))) --expand float at top
, ("M-p", withFocused (keysResizeWindow (0,-20) (0,0))) --shrink float at top
