This is an example for better understanding: https://jsfiddle.net/cunigarrod/ador2mrw/. The table of pink color don´t full the td cell in height size.
The use of a table inside an other table is because the inner table is called from backend completely, the other way this won´t be the case.

Remove the border from the inner table and that should give you the result. As for it to take up 100% height it's a bit tricky since it's a table inside a table.

Tables are tricky. The only way I was able to make this work was by explicitly setting the height of the internal table:
<table class="table-bordered" style="background-color: pink; height: 57px;">
