Could you take a few more measurements at 5 volt intervals between 100 and 120 volts?
It means the core is saturating. Do you have an oscilloscope? If you do, the waveform of the current in the primary can tell us something about what's going on. I've posted some screen captures from my transformer over on alt.binaries.schematics.electronics.
This is a standard construction practice.
This is a standard "concentric wound" construction, and if these are ordinary EI laminations, then it's not a "current limited" transformer.
I'm pretty sure it's not current limited. I think it's just a low-cost transformer that has been designed to push the core well into saturation.
As long as it doesn't overheat, you can use it.
It has nothing to do with resonance.
