Answer 2
From the website of the Deutsche Bahn:
2.8 Übertragbarkeit
Die Fahrkarte ist nur dann übertragbar, wenn sie nicht auf den Namen lautet und die Fahrt - bei Fahrkarten für Hin- und Rückfahrt die Hinfahrt - noch nicht angetreten ist. Reisende mit auf den Namen lautenden Fahrkarten sind verpflichtet, im Rahmen der Fahrkartenkontrolle auf Aufforderung ihre Identität durch einen amtlichen Lichtbildausweis nachzuweisen.
In English: tickets (of all sorts) can only be given to others if they're not specifically assigned to a person. The Bahn Card 100 contains the name of the owner and thus can't be transfered.
However you could try to get a new card by convincing the Deutsche Bahn that your friend has changed his name and address to yours. But I have no idea if that would work.
