Look on the handle end of the main breaker. There should be a number there. That is the amperage of the main breaker. That is the size of your house service.
sounds like you have a 100 amp service to your home.. that will need to be upgraded to a 200 amp service.. you shouldn't have any problems after upgrade..
A 350 amp service is not a standard service distribution. It jumps from a 200 to a 400 amp rated distribution equipment. The only way to obtain a 350 size service is to install 400 amp equipment and fuse it at 350 amps. The standard size home distributions in North America today are rated at 200 amps. The cost of the service differs through out the continent. Ask your local electrical contractor for an estimate on an electrical upgrade to the required service that you want.
Depends on the size of the service. 100 amp service will require 3 gauge, 150 amp service will require 1/0 gauge, and 200 amp service will require 3/0 gauge.

Check the nameplate on the service panel. There it will tell you what the buss capacity is. On a 200 amp service nothing in the wiring configuration is allowed to be less than that the service rating. In the market there are 200 amp 42 circuit distribution panels.
Yes you can as long as the sensing coils of the transfer switch are the same as the 100 amp service. The transfer switch has to be able to tell when the voltage is back from the utility side of the switch when the power is restored.
The average home built today has a 200 Amp service.
Too small.
Most mobile homes built after 1975 are 100 amp electrical. It would be very difficult living in a 50 amp home in winter unless it had gas service for at least the furnace and maybe the stove. -I would never consider buying a home with such limited power capability.
