> … when you delete the Bayer filter you not only get more resolution (factor of 2 in both directions) … Does the larger resolution mean out to a larger dimens

  The latter. Color pictures still have the pixel dimensions equal to those of the sensor, but each pixel has 2 of its channels interpolated from neighboring pixels. That's why "100% crops" of color digital photos always look kinda blurry.

  You can learn more about this by looking up "debayering" or "demosaicing", the process by which 4 pixels with color filters are combined into 1 pixel of color information. But it still has 4 pixels worth of spatial information. Sorta. If you're willing to make some assumptions. It's a messy process That's why shooting with raw files is so popular; these grab the data from the sensor before the debayering, since some post-processing operations work better if they're earlier in the processing pipeline.

  Assuming both sensors have the same pixel count, the resulting images also have the same pixel count but the image taken with the monochrome sensor would resolve finer details which get lost when doing the color interpolation with the color sensor. This can be nicely seen with the Leicas, as they usually sell a Monochrom with the same pixel count as the color version.
