Anne- 100% correct. Tiger retail was released before the existence of Intel macs. Therefore, there has been no need to sell the retail version of Tiger that's intel-compatible because all Intel macs come with Tiger install disks, as opposed to PPC, where you might want to upgrade to Tiger when your computer came with Panther, etc.
If you give AppleCare a call, they will be able to send you a (vastly cheaper) copy of Tiger that will work with your intel mac after verifying some details, otherwise use the install disks that came with the mac. As for the general topic of installing an older version of OS X on top of a newer version, the installer will prompt you to select an option (e.g. erase and install, archive and install) and the "upgrade" option will be unavailable. It's entirely possible to do without erasing the drive, you just need to have enough space to install and you'll be fine.
