So for example if I bought something for $100 and the fair tax was, say 10%, I’d see a bill
Fair Tax 10%: $10
?
Because when I buy something with the NY sales tax, I just see the $ amount and I never see the rate. So the rate can change at any time and most people will never know.

You would see the actual cost of the item and a separate line for the tax rate.

Because the FairTax would tax the federal gas tax (so much for the "no double taxation" claim) raising the gas tax (and creating a host of similar taxes) would have a double benefit.
