I am going to wire my shop and want ot run #2 copper to a 100amp breaker panel. I really do not have the space in the 200 amp panel in the house, my question – is there a way to pull this wire off the service entrance straight to the shop, and does that require another meter base or what?

reasons going to the service entrance will be difficult:
i would go with connecting a subpanel to your main panel. i assume that the existing circuits in the shop go to the main panel? take them out and use the space you just freed up to wire in your subpanel.
