If I set a document zoom to 100%, the displayed sheet of paper has a different size from the physical sheet.
What is the 100% I am seeing on screen?
(And is it possible to make the 100% zoom
show the real paper size?)

I will show you samples of the following paper size setting and the physical sheet of A4 paper
on three monitors with 100 %
scale each
which do appear like this – display panels photographed against a physical A4 sheet (red double arrow) and photos lined up:
(click the image to zoom)
As you can see, the same 210 mm in 100% zoom setting is represented by seemingly random lengths on actual monitors. (Word window was just moved between them and photographed.)
Hence the question stands: What is 100% zoom in Microsoft Word, which appears to be a random size in physical reality?
