No. Gravitational attraction is a function of the mass of the Earth and the mass of the body being attracted. The mass of the Earth is the same, no matter where one is located. However, the rotation of the Earth does exert centrifugal force upon bodies on the surface, and that force is greatest at the equator, diminishing as one approaches the poles. Centrifugal force would tend to reduce the measured weight (but not the mass or the gravitational attraction) of a body close to the equator.

Is gravity stronger on the earths surface than it is 100m up and then that's stronger than 200m up?

The gravitational field is stronger the closer you are to the Earth, so a person standing 100m up will experience a stronger tug than a person standing 200m up.
