So, I have my daughter RF in the Marathon, in a captain chair in a Traverse. Fine and perfect. However, I am confused on using a tether, for a RF carseat. The manual seesm to show the tether going above the carseat and behind the seat...surely they do not want the tether straps above my daughter's head? I am missing a major point here?

That's one of two ways they allow. 
It's the more troublesome way to do it. You'll want to use the other method described in the manual instead, using the d-ring.

And if you can't figure out a good spot- it's ok to not do it. Rear-facing tethering is optional.

Is she on the driver's side or passenger?
Not sure if they've changed (since my '07 Outlook) but the driver's side was trickier. I wedged the d-ring between the plastic cover & seat track so that it was wrapped around the outboard seat track. (I pulled the string through when I moved it to a different spot, it helped keep a little gap to get the strap back in).
It was much easier to wrap it around the base of the inside track on the passenger seat.
