If I want to play videos from within a program (I don't care much about format), should I use Theora or an mp4 library (any recommendations?) We used Bink in The Witness, but I am looking for something I can redistribute for free.

have you checked out http://icculus.org/theoraplay/ ?
Why do I need a library that lets me use the library? Why can't I just use a library?

you can, but it'll probably be easier this way (and certainly way slimmer and less troubling license than libvlc)
-
My point is, why is there even a library that lets me use the library? Why isn't that the original library?

I don't know. vorbis has libvorbisfile with the same goal (offering an easier/higher level interface) which is part of the project, no idea why they don't offer something like that for theora
