I don't think any us airline still flies the 318 or 735. Not sure what the Emb-190 seats, but it's probably in that 100-110 seat range.
BTW the CRJ-1000 is actually a separate type rating from the other CRJs (100 through 900)

Probably 190s or possibly the new Bombardier 100 seater. Maybe the MRJ, but somehow I doubt that.

Would it be a sticking point if 100 seat captain pay is lower than wide body fo pay?

I think it might be. Another question is if it is a quick upgrade or not. Do 100 seat captains down grade to widebody FO ?

It has 100....

I guess you guys aren't familiar with the current UPA. It specifies the E190, E195 and CS100 as the only options for the New Small Narrow Body aircraft. I don't think the number of seats installed has anything to do with it, only types. United already approached the MEC a while ago with a desire to expand the definition of NSNB to include the small Boeings and Airbii and were turned down.

The Republic 190s were configured to 99 seats to avoid paying the pilots more...

There's that one Texas airline that still operates the 737-300 and 500.
