Yes, AI servo, no filters and no hoods. Stock kit 18-55 IS STM.

it simply fails at focus a lot of times, cannot match basic point and shoot compact camera. AF performance is bad on my camera... Maybe others don't have such bad experience, could be it's only my camera, but initial focus is not so good, but as soon as object starts moving, it cannot track it, takes few seconds to get focus back on object, even when object stops. During live view, it's ok, tracks object.

This definitely sounds like a problem.  The 100D normally focuses much better than that.

Try another lens first, then if no joy, you might need to send it in (or exchange if that's still an option).

Best of luck!
