No matter how I run the patch I get taken to the "repair" or "remove"

It's expected if the patch has UI (which it would if your original
packages have UI).
These patches are something that will most likely be downloaded by our
customer base and applied by our customers.
Can these patches be installed in a "quiet mode"? Possibly using a
bootstrapper to help determine if the patch has completed?
Absolutely. Generally, patches aren't downloaded/installed as "naked"
.msp files. Instead, there's an .exe wrapper that uses the /qb or /qn
switches to suppress the .msp UI. Take a look at the MsiApplyPatch
function.
