Does wood expand when heated?
Wood (specially timber) absorbs moister from surrounding. When we burn timber, the water inside it evaporates. It tries to escape out from the pores of wood. As a result the effective volume of wood decreases. So when wood is heated, it should not expand, but contract on its own.

Can you hammer a screw?
It is not a good practice, but people do it. Some will tap a screw with a hammer to start a hole. Others will drive it all the way in. That is bad for the screw and the wood.Hammering a screw is counter-productive and will not have good results:When you hammer a nail into wood, the sides of the nail compress the wood. The compressed wood wants to expand pressing on the sides of the nail. The pressure keeps the nail in place preventing it from coming out of the wood.When you hammer a screw into wood, the threads of the screw "chew out" the wood pressing it downward, possibly compressing it in a downward direction, leaving little or no wood to hold the screw in place The compressed wood, wanting to expand may tend to expand upwards pushing the screw out.
Does Copper expand more when heat than wood?
It depends on what type of wood, but overall copper does expand more than wood when heated. The main measure of predicting the amount of a material would expand under heating is the coefficient of linear thermal expansion, which is a ratio of the amount of expansion per temperature change, the higher the number, the more it will expand when heated. Copper has a coefficient of 16.6 m/(m Kelvin), while pine has a coefficient of 5 m/(m Kelvin), which suggests that copper expands more when heated than wood (at least pine).
