No. You are not reducing your taxable income – each constitutes as its own transaction:
Your $100 profit less fees would be a relalized event and a taxable gain. Any additional shares you purchase would become your new basis.
PS: Actually, you would be able to buy shares of the same company with $200, less fees and commissions – these would be the proceeds you would have received upon the sale – 100 from your original basis, and another 100 of short-term gain (profit), less any fees and commissions, of course.

Yes, your gain is the $100 minus fees. And it doesn’t matter what you do with it, including if you reinvest it in the same stock – it’s still taxable income for the year, at ordinary income not capital gains rates since it’s short term if you hold it for a year or less.

Once you make a sale and have a profit, you must report the capital gain. You can not make any deduction by reinvesting the gains.
