100% means 1 inch (or cm) on screen equals 1 inch (or cm) in the document. Zoom to fit means the document will fit the window.

That depends on the physical size of the screen! For any given screen resolution, if an inch in the document is an inch on a 24″ screen, it will be two inches on a 48″ screen.

Afaik it's not inch or cm but pixel.

100% means 1 pixel from the document is displayed by one pixel from the display.

1 inch at 300 dpi will be displayed larger (300 pixel wide) on screen than 1 inch at 72 dpi (only 72 pixel wide).

unit of measurement (UOM) is pixel or physical: 100% means 1 display pixel equals 1 document pixel 

 

AD and APub 

UOM is pixel: 100% means 1 display pixel equals 1 document pixel 

UOM is physical: 100% means 1 display inch/cm approximately equals 1 document inch/cm
