Can a travel voucher be converted to points? If yes, approximately how many points is $100 worth?

Not to points - you can book something with the voucher and then if you cancel it, it will be returned back to you in travel funds since it can't be restored to the voucher.

 

I use this third party to value points, they try to rate them based on their use and not what it literally would cost to buy them which is higher.

The wrinkle would be if you have companion pass then points are "worth twice as much" if you are using them to book travel and will have a companion ticket as well.

No, you can use a voucher to book a flight, cancel the flight, and receive a travel credit, but not points.  RR points are worth roughly 1.4 cents per point so $100 is equal to about 7142 points.
