Silicone
Can I use 100% all-purpose rubber silicone to re-seal a tank?
Also, if its just a small leak, can I just do that area, or do I need to like pull out the silicone and start over?

Depends the brand and what else is in it. Typically anything that says "mildew resistant" is unsuitable for aquarium use.

Does it say "Window & Door" in big on the side of the tube? I think your talking about GE silicone 1 window and door. That one is alright since i know that its not mildew resistant and is 100% silicone. Silicone 2 is the stuff you cant use. But before i say its okay, i gotta know which one your takling about.

I always read that any type of silicone that says "100%" is safe for a tank

I dont know about all purpose silicone. but if its not mildew resistant and it is 100% silicone then it should be fine.
