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.
