I would like clarification on the official intended usage of the multi-tasking switcher. Specifically, should apps be regularly closed (minus bubble) out of this list, or is the close feature closer to OS X's force quit.

It is not really necessary to close apps from there. It is more like a recently used apps list. You can close them from there if a problem occurs with the app, and there are only a few apps that will remain running when you close them with the Home button. You can see information about the multi-tasking bar in the User Guide. http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
