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.

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 
Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

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).

AP 

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

UOM is pixel or physical: 'Actual Size' means 1 display inch/cm approximately equals 1 document inch/cm
