I've been looking all over the place for an explanation. Why does it have the Xbox Live logo on the top-right of the box? I haven't seen one sentence anywhere that explains how it uses Xbox Live.

It has achievements, which are part of Live. Which is pretty much why every game has the Live logo on it.

I don't understand. I never realized that they'd put the Xbox Live logo on games just because they have marketplace content. I thought that meant that they had multiplayer or online play features. That's kind of strange to me. It can't be just because it has achievements, because all Xbox 360 games have achievements and not all of them have the Xbox Live logo... but it's weird to me that they'd put the Xbox Live logo just because they have marketplace content, because that covers almost every game that I can think of.

Nope. The Xbox Live logo merely means it has the capacity to interact with XBL services. These include achievements, XBL parties, marketplace updates/DLC, notifying people that you're playing the game, multiplayer capabilities (if the game has it) etc.

On the back of the box, near the base, should be a little grid saying whether the game is single player, coop, mp, etc. I don't think you'll find a single X360 game without Live.
