If the system has been upgraded to a 100amp system is it possible for any existing knob and tube to be live or active?

Yes and No. The person who changed out the service must have transferred the homeruns to the new panel. If there was an indoor meter and fuseblocks, what he should have done was splice onto the knob n tube inside of a metal junction box, one lead to one knockout and splice a piece of 12-2 or 12-4 romex onto it and into the panelbox. Electricians just don't eliminate knob and tube circuits when they chage out a panelbox. -
Thanks for the tip! Insurance companies are real sticklers with stuff like that so I was just wondering whether I had to go ahead and rip it out or whether I need to get an electrician in to upgrade it.
