Yes. High boiled water and steam will exist in 100 degrees celcius. Similarly liquid water and solid ice both exist in 0 degree celcius.
The transition point does not mean the transition is complete. It is partial, sometimes 50-50 only.

Yes.The water will be converted to steam only after it consumes the heat called latent heat. The latent heat is the heat energy required to change the state of the mass without raising its temperature. Therefore until you give the latent heat the water will remain water at 100 degree Celsius.

Yes, while water is boiling it exists in both states.
The steam is called 'wet' or 'saturated' steam.

yes.....at this temp a certain amount of water and steam molecules actually trade places and fall back into its prior state.....once the entire body of water reaches this temp....then the surface tension is broken and lots of H20 Molecules leave the nest....
