my understanding was that if I have 100 and you have 200, you go all in, I can call with my 100 and only win 100 of your 200

That is correct in a table stakes game. I am not aware of any online or B&M casino that does not have table stakes rules.
It is possible in a private game to not have table stakes limitations. A hundred years ago, you could not assume that a game was table stakes without asking. Today, most players have never heard of anything else, and anyone familiar with poker assumes all games are table stakes.
A big problem with "Shade" was having non-table stakes games without any explanation of what they are, and without showing why anyone would be nuts enough to play in them, especially in a private game against a bunch of crooks.
