I have the Cisco 2851 router with the AC power and Inline Power supply. Currently using the NM-ESW-16 to power 14 phones but want to expand to 32. If I upgrade to the NM-ESW-36 will the router be able to provide POE to all 32 phones.

you need the NMD-ESW-36-PWR module. Make sure you have the capacity on the router for it as it is bigger and takes up more slots. You will also need the daughter card that goes with it, I don't recall the part number for it though.
Have you considered adding an external L2 poe switch instead?
