Seeing points on the aircraft like: near windshield FS 100.0, wing FS 142.5
What does FS stand for in the Weight and Balance section?

The math all works out the same no matter what you call it.
Just for trivia, on airplanes where it can vary enough to matter the lateral reference is the buttline (BL) and the vertical reference is the waterline (WL). Now if you ever see FSCG, BLCG, and WLCG you'll know the center of gravity in 3D
