My understanding of font-size spec is: 100% = 1 em = the size of an M and
that this is 16px high.
What I am not clear is: where do you tell the browser how large the M is? Is

You can spec font-size of 100% on the body. This respects the users preference
settings in their browser. You can then spec element font size in ems. The 16px
is usually the default size set in browsers upon install.

100% is the user's default font size. It could be anything from 12px
to 24 px (or larger or smaller) and should be used for any body text
on the page.

You don't. The font designer decides the dimensions of letters, relative to
the font size.
