If you're asking whether it is physically possible, yes. If you're asking if this is an acceptable installation, again the answer is yes. A breaker box can be installed either end up, and it doesn't make much difference. Either way the small 'branch circuit' breakers are fed from the main breaker. The only difference it might make, is that some residential panels come with knockouts in the top and bottom. Some panels have top knockouts only. If you're running your homeruns through an attic, you'd probably want to install the panel with the knockouts up, for ease of installation.

How do you tell the difference between 100 amp and a 200 amp box?

Can you blow a breaker box?
Not if it is designed and installed properly. Even if you overload a circuit, the most that should happen is a tripped breaker. Panels are designed such that even fault current from a direct short, which can be tens of thousands of amperes, will be safely interrupted. All bets are off however, if the panel has been tampered with or improperly designed or installed.

Is an outlet plug that says gfci on it but doesn't have a reset button really a gfci outlet?
It depends. It could be improperly installed. Outlets can be GFI protected by using a GFI rated breaker in the main panel box. Look for a breaker in the panel box that has a push to test button on it. Press the push to test button then plug something into the outlet to see if it still works. If the breaker turns off the power then it is GFI protected. To reset it flip the breaker to the fully of position then back to the on position.
Is a ground fault indicator outlet installed at the breaker box?
There are tow places to put a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter. There is a GFCI breaker which would be installed in a breaker box and a GFCI outlet that can be installed anywhere. Most GFCI outlets allow you to connect regular outlets to the GFCI and those outlets will also be protected.

Will changing circuit breakers in box for electric heat reduce heating bills?
No, all it will do is make the circuit unsafe if a larger breaker is installed or make the circuit trip unnecessarily if a smaller breaker is installed. You pay for the wattage that you use. Less wattage used, less cost on your utility bill.

Can a 220 Volt well motor be added to a 200 amp box or does it need its own box?
The well pump breaker is installed in two slots in your breaker box. You then run the correct size cable for the amperage of the pump to the area where the pressure tank is located. install a breaker or disconnect on the wall near the pressure tank and then connect the low pressure switch to the disconnect. Connect the pump to the low pressure switch.
