What is the correct wire size to install with a distance of 200 feet for a 100 amp single phase underground service?

This is a voltage drop question. A #1 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 100 amps for 200 feet on a 240 volt system. Or
a 3/0 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 100 amps for 200 feet on a 120 volt system. In your question you sis not stipulate what the working voltage is.

What gauge Aluminum underground wire will you need to install a 50 amp service in a outbuilding - 215 feet?
I would use AWG #4 for that run in alluminum. You will have a 3.8% voltage drop which is acceptible.

What is the cable between the service panel and electric meter called?
Whether you have an overhead or underground feed, that section of the installation is referred to as Service Entrance Conductors. On an overhead installation, it includes the conductors on BOTH sides of the meter, from the service drop conductors (attached at the service head) to the service equipment LINE terminals. On an underground installation, it refers only to the conductors between the meter's LOAD side and the service equipment LINE terminals. The conductors on the LINE side of the meter come from a distribution transformer and are unbroken between the transformer and your meter.
