If we perform a craniotomy on a young human like an infant whos brains are still growing. Replace it with a much larger 3D printed skull. Will the brain grow larger and baby grow up with superior intelligence?

Yes.
Either that, or the brain will slosh around in the enlarged skull instead of being held firmly in place, leading to constant concussions from normal daily activity and turn out to be a total fucking retard.

What if you have replace a smaller skull with a bigger and bigger one gradually?

neurons are cells which have already undergone differentiation. If they're injured, they cannot repair themselves. A lot of our intelligence comes from neuron connections, and the density of neurons which aren't being used to sustain body functions. Elephants have physically larger brains than humans but they're not smarter since most of their neural activity is regulating their enormous bodies. Humans have big brains with small bodies which means there's more free neurons to do thinking. Simply taking a baby and transplanting a bigger brain into them means there's no stem cells so no brain growth, HOWEVER the child will indeed be a lot smarter than your typical human assuming they dont die during the surgery.

I would assume yes. Obviously it’s bounded, but there is no reason to assume skull size maps perfectly upon maximally attainable brain size

I've wondered this also.

Amendment, I thought you meant gluing extra brain tissue in proximity to the infant brain in the hopes they fuse.
