I have a game on the marketplace. If I want to do an update to it, do I just "Create a new version", and upload a new apk, etc?
If that passes, does it then replace the one that's currently on the market?
Will previous customers auto-update? Or will I now have two different versions in the wild?
Thanks!

Yes, Create New Version is what you want, it lets you upload a new APK, add screenshots, and edit the description text. Once you submit it, you can see/verify the new version in the Make/Builds menu on your OUYA just as if it were in the store, and when it gets approved and you then Publish it, it replaces the old version in the store (though note, that can take a few hours for the new version to propagate to all systems in the store).
Currently there is no support for previous customers learning about or getting the new update, if a customer knows about the update and wants it, they have to delete the current version on their OUYA (including all save files) and redownload. Or sideload the app, overwriting the old one, to do a true update without losing save files.
A better update system is in the works, hopefully it'll be in a firmware upgrade before the system goes retail.
