i have an old radio shack dx-100 how can i can hooked this to it ?

From looking at some old manuals online, the dx-100 has a screw terminal for an external antenna, not socket for a plug like the reel antenna in question. I think you will have success if you cut off the plug, strip the end of the wire from insulation, and use the screw terminal. You will not need any special tools - just a good sharp knife.

Can this antenna work and improve am/fm radio reception?

It will greatly improve FM reception. AM uses a different type of antenna but a slight improvement may be noticed on AM.

I already have the reel antenna. How do I order just the adapter clip alone?

I don't think you can, there is no listing for parts, just solder a small clamp and that's it.

Is there a way (a cable?) to extend the distance from the antenna to the radio?

Yes you can use an audio cable extension https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075SV6XZY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Excellent Antenna Extension - Good Price - Fast Shipping

I've used this antenna extension to bring in far away FM and Short Wave stations. I've tried it on a couple of different radio's and it works great. Good value for the money and fast shipping. You should buy one to clip to your own radio's antenna especially in case of emergency. Oh, and my truck has a vertical rod type antenna and when I'm parked somewhere, I can clip this antenna extension to bring in extra AM or FM stations. It works! It's easy and fast to reel back into it's portable case with just a finger. I sincerely recommend it.
