No. The board can decide to issue more shares, but this is a sub-dividing of the already issued shares and so normally requires a vote from the shareholders. Major shareholders normally sit on the board, so the two groups overlap but are legally distinct.

If a company buys it own shares, it's normally a "buyback" and the shares cease to exist.
