If there has been no previous raise, then the minimum raise is twice the current bet. This means that if the big blind is currently 100, then the minimum raise must be 100 (or more), making the total bet 200 (or more). Most people are aware of this.
Pre-flop that is correct... BUT when the flop has been dealt and you are the first to act (BB 200) you can bet 300 (the bet must be at least the size of the BB)..you dont have to make the bet 400.

The raising you are spot on, but i can see why people say you have to match the size of the previous raise, as a lot of new people play the game and it takes a lot less working out then trying to figure out the minimum re-raise etc...but i will e-mail the pit bosses to make sure they know the correct format.

100/200 standard raise to 600 *if someone decides to re-raise here the minimum has to be a 1000 (previous raise was 400 200+400) so you have to at least match the size of the previous raise (400) 600+400=1000

Its a bit to early in the morning for this ..but i think thats correct!
