 100 thoughts is just a literal but incorrect translations, but there were only about 20 streams of thoughts at that time. The true meaning of "a hundred" means "many" in chinese. There's a similar vocab : 百姓 (literally, a hundred surname). It means all people living under the control of the emperor. Corrections? - Spoiler:
Daoism:
1 Wuwei does not literally mean not acting, but action through non-action.
2 Religious Daoism began during the Eastern Han period with Zhang Daoling, not the 4th century AD as you stated.
Mohism:
The Mohists are utilitarians, not unitarians. They did have an interest in "natural science" as you said, (especially the Later Mohists) but they were also interested in logic (the Later Mohists created some of the most sophisticated logical analysis in all of Zhou philosophy). A very important central belief of the Mohists that you forgot to mention is the ethical doctrine of Jian Ai, or Universal Love. (To love all people without consideration of hierarchial distinctions, unlike the Confucians)
Yin-Yang:
Wuxing should be translated as Five Phases, not "five elements", as they represent fundamental processes in nature in a symbolic way, not fundamental substances like the ancient Greek Four Elements. (There is an ancient Chinese equivalent of the Greek Four Elements, which is simply Qi, the single "energtic" elemental substrate from which all things in the universe are made of. Before Empedocles, the ancient Greeks also had the belief in a single elemental substrate instead of four, e.g. the idea that everything is made from water proposed by Thales) Furthermore, the Five Phases are Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth, not Gold, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth as you stated. Jin in classical Chinese means metal in general, not just gold.
