So the question was never answered.
What do you call a panel with
a dual main breaker 200/200.
Is that called a 200 Amp service or a 400 Amp service?

When you say dual breaker do you mean dual pole are two separate breaker
(Confusing isn't)
If your Breaker is dual pole 200 amp. (Breakers do come in single, double,
triple and 4 poles)
If you are home owner and you are going to use only 120 volts it is 400 amp.
service
If you are going to use only 220/240 then it is 200 amp service
