Now, how is this not like the DC Universe getting destroyed and recreated several times? Is it going to be Earth-616 with characters from a non-existent alternate earth, or is it a totally new universe that, and I'm almost quoting again here, "will update the Marvel Universe to better match the movies?" All I want is a better explanation.

You are talking about Secret Wars. This entire discussion is about Age of Ultron.

And they have already clarified that Secret Wars won't be a reboot for the Marvel Universe.
