Yes it can but it is a bit more complicated then that. The motor that is rated at 100 Watts will draw 100 watts electrical power, but will only output 70-80% of that in mechanical power. So in order to get 100 watts back out you would have to put in ~120 watts of mechanical power to get 100 watts electrical back out.

Yes, a 100 watt DC motor can output close to 100 watts when running in reverse. However, there may be some losses due to inefficiencies in the motor, so the actual power output might be slightly less.

There are 0.0001 watts in 100 microwatts. To convert microwatts to watts, you divide by 1,000,000 (since 1 microwatt = 0.000001 watt).
It would use less electrical energy to burn the 60 watt light bulb for 900 seconds. This is because the total energy consumed is calculated by multiplying the power (in watts) by the time (in seconds), so for the 60 watt bulb: 60 watts * 900 seconds = 54,000 watt-seconds, and for the 100 watt bulb: 100 watts * 500 seconds = 50,000 watt-seconds.
Yes, it would cost more to run four 25-watt bulbs than one 100-watt bulb. The total wattage for four 25-watt bulbs is 100 watts, the same as one 100-watt bulb. However, the four bulbs would consume more energy overall due to the increased electrical resistance and potential inefficiencies of multiple bulbs.
