Indoor Gardening and Houseplants: Anyone know what this is?, 1 by meezersfive

I bought this little plant at a KMart several years ago, with no name or label attached. I think I bought it because it came in the shell and I thought it was kinda cute! The leaves are thick, and it blooms frequently with little red flowers shaped like the leaves, like this > () and it looks now like the roots are forcing the growing medium up out of the shell. So, I guess this is two questions, what is it, and if I pull it out of the shell and put it in a tiny pot will it survive? Or should I just lleave it alone, and not be concerned about it getting root bound? It's probably something everybody else knows and I'm going to end up feeling really dumb............!
