Is it unsafe to have 60A service going into a new electrical box designed for 100A?
Its not recommended because your new main breaker will allow up to 100 amps and your old wire can only safely handle 60amps. If you put a 60amp main breaker in the new box, that would be acceptable. No, it is perfectly safe. Because the box is overrated, there is no problem. If the box is the main panel, and not a subpanel, install a 60A main breaker so you cannot overload your service. If it is a subpanel this 60A breaker should be in the main panel.
Are there 100A available on both bars of a 100A panel in a home and for instance can you draw 75A on each bar?
The amp rating of a panel is based on the size of materials used (the bars, etc). You can pull 400 amps through your panel (provided a 400amp breaker was in place); but it would probably melt down very quickly. Basically you have 100 amps total to play with: be it from two 50amp breakers or 30 subpanels pulling 3 amps. :D You just can't pull more than 100amps at one time or the main will trip. The 100 amps is a rating for each bar. If your panel has a 100 amp double pole breaker, then you can use up to 100 amps on each pole. You really shouldn't draw more than 80 amps continuously. But you can count on having that 160 amps avilable if all your loads use only one hot leg of the panel (120 volt loads instead of 240).

Do you need a main disconnect on the feeder wires running to a detached garage running from the box in the house?
Yes you do. The detached garage will either be fed with a single circuit or a sub panel. The wire feeding the garage will need to be protected and that is the purpose of the breaker (disconnect). The breaker size will be determined by the size of the wire that is used on this circuit.

Can you tap meter and feed panel in detached garage?
No. Any connections to the detached garage have to be after the main disconnect of your house panel. You have two options here. You can replace meter with a meter disconnect combo and have the main feed your house and add a breaker to feed the garage or You could install a 400 ap service and place two disconnects at the meter. one for the house and one for the garage. unless you are going to have a serious electrial load in the garage you sould just feed off the panel in the house for cost effectiveness.
Why would your power go out to your garage but not to your house and no fuses be blown?
Does the garage have a separate breaker box or fuse box inside? Is there a separate power feed for the garage? In the 70's and 80's some cities were allowing aluminum wiring INSIDE residences. If the wire from the main fuse/breaker panel is aluminum there is a real possibility that you might have a bad connection between the fuse box or breaker panel and the outlets in the garage.

What is a sub panel?
A sub-panel is always fed from a main panel.
