What is all done to the car? If you didn't add any timing with a tune then you will be fine not pulling any. As long as you just have bolt ons (no cam or heads) you'll be okay with the factory fuel system too.

IF you are stock: You don't have to pull any timing BUT It's not a bad idea, generally 1.5-3 per 50HP helps keep you safe

I'm at 28 degrees maximum timing at WOT on a 100 shot. Think I'm ok?

What grade fuel are you running (94?)? It wouldn't hurt to pull a few degrees.

The best way to find out if to much timing is to log for Knock Retard. Even better is to set timing on a Dyno for max power. Max timing does not allways equal max power. But just randomly pulling timing to be on safe side, I can't say don't do it, but...

When my car was tuned it made the best power at 25 degrees on the motor (went up to 30-32, didn't get any KR but lost power), so would I be safe spraying a 100 wet shot without touching the timing?

On a stockish car, upto about a 150 shot no timing pull is normally needed. I would still log and check for KR. Now having installed a cam, all bets are off, and I would suggest contacting cam manufacture' for their rec, or a good tuner. Myself, I am running 22* and it hasn't hurt my n/a times a bit, and good for a bigger hit. At this point as I go bigger I will keep an eye on KR for indication that more timing needs to be pulled. Working my way up to the full 200+rwhp.

I'm hitting every timing thread tonight...so what happens when you go on up in your shot to 200-300..on the Dyno check KR logs, AF and keep timing up a degree to stay off the "ragged edge" ... this assumes that there is enough fuel to keep up with the added oxygen...

You'll prolly be fine on a 100 shot with your fuel selection. But again it can't hurt to pull some. It sometimes boils down to personal choice and how safe you want to play it.

Depends. How much are/did you advance your timing? Remember too that a dry shot pulls some timing. It looks like you have a somewhat mild set up, but I would double check the 30 lb injectors also.
