If I want Team A at -3 +105, do I just make an offer on Matchbook and hope someone bites? I mean, what if I want Team A at -3 +120 or something crazy like that? Do i just make the offer and hope?

Yes, hope is good. The odds do/will change and your -3 +120 may not end up being "crazy" after all.

Thanks. So I take it if my offer never gets accepted by another bettor the money just goes back into my account when the game starts?

yep
if you have the time to monitor the market you may wish to amend your offer improve your chances of getting matched

OK, more questions, haha. Suppose I see a line like:

Team A +105 - +108
Team B -120 - -115

across the other books. So I go on matchbook and say I want Team B at -110. This means whoever takes my offer is getting Team A at +110, right? So that would really increase my chances of getting this number since that is the best offer anyone could get on Team A. Am I understanding this correctly?

Yeah you got it, matchbook is great for those that like to scalp and middle as well

With Chrome, MB "Current Bets" button doesn't work.
