In triangle $\triangle ABC$, the lengths of the sides opposite angles $A$, $B$, and $C$ are $a$, $b$, and $c$, respectively, and $\frac{a}{{2-\cos A}}=\frac{b}{{\cos B}}$.  
$(1)$ Find the value of $\frac{c}{b}$;  
$(2)$ If $a=3$, the angle bisector of angle $A$ intersects $BC$ at point $D$, and $AD=2\sqrt{2}$, find the area of $\triangle ABC$.
