modeling a simple cup
Let's say you wanted to shrink the width of the rim on a single side. You select the inner face on that side and extrude it outward. Unfortunately the top of the rim does not move so you are left with a rim of zero height hanging over the inner edge of the cup. How would you solve this so that the top rim moves too as you push the side of the cup outward?

If the goal is to make the rim "thinner" just grab the inner edge and translate it towards the outer edge.
No need to "extrude" or to "scale". But I am sure I am misintrpreting what you are trying to do.
1. create a cube
2. select the top face
3. extrude the face evenly in the xz plane
4. extrude the same face in negative y
you now have a square vessel
5. select an inner edge at the "rim" and translate it in the xz plane towards the outer edge and bingo you've thinned the rim on one side.
or alternatively select the inner face and just translate the face and the entire side of the cup will be thinner on that side.
