So how does a 100W panel translate into 18W PD 3.0 max? Does it put out more power using other modes?

The USB port is an 18w PD port running off an internal charge controller, the anderson plug (solar plug) will run max wattage, which will be near that 100w rating but relies on the end device to handle the voltage.

It has the USB ports built in, but is mainly designed to plug in to a large battery pack.

It's gimmicky lingo to define the size, consider it a "class". The size of the panels could produce 100w from the sun at 100% conversion for the given area. A 350 cubic inch engine could produce 350 horsepower at 100% volumetric efficiency for that matter, yet in the 1970s we saw 140 horsepower 350 engines... One could cram more air into that 350 engine and produce 500hp.. if a 100w solar panel produced 100% efficiency yet a giant magnifying glass was put above it it also would go beyond 100% volumetric efficiency and probably light itself on fire but same idea. Presumably if you were in space somewhere near the planet Venus you would produce... 2x 18w and be able to charge two phones at once!.. although, you also would likely melt your face off! But man, anything for a quick charge!

Whaaaaaat? This isn't gimmicky. It will likely put out 100 watts under perfect conditions and 80 to 90 watts the rest of the time. The USB ports are a bonus limited by the hardware of those ports.

What is the use of this for?
Can it this be used as a power backup for sump pump?

Ah, I see, thanks. That's what I was hoping as I built myself a 10W solar charger a while back that's roughly a tenth the size of this, so it makes sense that this really can put out close to 100W, at least under ideal conditions. You could actually power a soldering station from this. I assume that to power USB devices it's better to do that off off whatever charge controller or power station this was plugged into?
