Sooner == before, yes, that is correct.

That should read "if your max bid was $100 AND the CURRENT high bid has not 
been reached by the proxy bidding and someone then bids $100.01" (or 
something to that effect).

For example, the auction is at $50, and you place a $100.01 bid...after 
your bid the bid price is $100.01, that means the previous high bidder 
placed a maximum bid of $100.  But, if the auction was already at $100, 
their system would not accept a bid of $100.01, since it did not meet the 
minimum bid increment increase.
