Even US President Grant said that the Native American tribes were correct in resisting the "reservation system". He did, however, need to help expand US western growth. His orders to his generals in the West were to force Native Americans on to reservations. He believed this was a must in order to expand settlements and create farmlands and mines. Grant had no choice despite his ideas to avoid conflicts.

Was Jackson justified in seizing the creeks land in order for America to grow and prosper?

The "White Eyes" were never justified in seizing the Creeks' Land or any Indian Nation Property and in fact, the United States broke over 900 Treaties with Native Americans, and treated them like animals for the most part, emasculating, and humiliating them. One terrible thing the Soldiers did was to round up all the Indians and force them onto "Reservations." This was a free roaming people, and a number of them simply sat down, and died because of it. Many starved, or died from exposure. There were Indian Agents who were corrupt and stole food and supplies that were intended for Native Americans in Reservations. Even today, the Native Americans on those Reservations, are still struggling to over come the events of the past.

Was the US justified in expanding its border?

Its all relative on how you would consider justification. The 19th century Americans had the idea of Manifest Destiny, like it was there "Destiny" to expand westward and take over most of the continent. But, as you probably know, there were already people living there (natives.) The Native Americans were already pushed westward and put on reservations to try to "civilize" them. But once again, it is all relative.
