https://www.avplastics.co.uk/injection-moulding-guide this is quite an interesting chart ... The Answer is always going to be way more than China but with the upside that it should be easier to work out the kinks & details etc such as how many push out points (non technical term!) you want/need and where they can be.

Impossible to say as size is only part of the equation.  A 100x100x300 part could require a few tens of grams of material and be exceptionally simple or could be incredibly complex and require a lot of material and multiple slides, ejection systems etc.. You could be anywhere between £3K and £100K for the tooling.

Upload your files to both Xometry and Protolabs - both have some online 'instant quote' systems. I've had success with beating Xometry down by over half  >:D

Why you will need a mould for up to 100pcs order?  :o
I mean what is a rationality spending time and $$$ to make tooling for just 100 parts??  :-//

I tested the waters a few months ago for plastic injection molding for a part not that different in dimensions from yours.

Tooling cost was consistently quoted around 15k€ from a few different quotes.

EDIT: aside from the dimensions, the part was fairly complex so YMMV.

I have not tried this, but is making your own injection molding machine something that might help you with your project?  I saw this video on YouTube and it looked interesting...
