Restoring with iTunes should be sufficient. It knows how to set up the drive in the peculiar partition scheme.

2) Will my iPod and iTunes be able to recognize the full 100GB (probably slightly less than that),
or mistook it for a 80GB drive, rendering the additional space unusable?

Of course the larger space will be recognized and usable. Otherwise why would we make this upgrade?
