Can I use DOT brake fluid in the Shimano MT200?

Never — Shimano hydraulic brakes use mineral oil only. DOT fluid will destroy the seals in the system. Use only Shimano-branded mineral oil or a compatible mineral oil alternative.

What rotor size should I use with the BR-MT200 front calliper?

160mm is standard for hardtail front brakes. If you ride steep or technical terrain, upgrade to 180mm using a +20mm post-mount adapter. 203mm requires a +43mm adapter and is typically overkill for hardtail trail riding.
