In this case I would feel justified in retracting my bids.
My question is, What would happen if I retracted my $200 dollar bid? Would the other bidder have the high bid now at just under $200?

Pretty sure in this scenario, once the other bidder retracts, all his bids (between the previous high of $100 and your max bid of $200) will disappear and the high bid will go back to $100. That said, anyone watching will now know what your max bid was, which I think is often what the other bidder wants to see.
