How is it that my main breaker is 100 amp service, and it supplies power to
a subpanel that has over 200 amps worth of circuit breakers? That is, if
each breaker were pulling the maximum amperage, how does this work? Would
the main breaker not trip?

I've got lots of other questions. Is this the best newsgroup for
electrical type questions?

TIA
