Even though Aang escaped and was encased in the iceberg for a century, Sozin only knew he escaped, nothing more. Therefore he made it a top priority to find and kill Aang. As for expanding, Sozin's Comet was long gone after the Genocide, so his strength though quite powerful was not at its apex at that time. The other nations then beefed up their defenses and thus the Fire Nation has had its struggles since then.
