as I am completely ignorant of the Python programming language, the searches of other posts with similar problems have not lead me to an understanding of what my specific problem is in Batch converting .avi to .mkv files.
here is error message:
TinyPy: Exception

and, btw, WHY is AviDemux saving with the double extension?! :o
AviDemux 2.7.6 defaults are supposed to be:
Mpeg4 AVC (x264)
MP3 (lame)
Mkv Muxer
However, BAT-initiated instance displays, "Copy" for Audio Output

rather feel like i am stumbling around in the dark with a slowly fading glow-in-the-dark map,...
any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT:
also, were I to want to accomplish the above but with Copy/Copy/Mkv, how would I accomplish that as well?
The 2.7.6 version is very very ancient old and unsupported. The current release is 2.7.8, while 2.8.0 coming within days (hopefully).

No up-to-date version would help here. Almost everything is wrong / contradictory / unnecessary.
If you want to use cmd.exe, why don't using the cli executable from the start on?
If you specify encoder via tinyPy script, don't try to do this on the command line (which fails already because "Mpeg4" is not a valid encoder name). If you don't escape spaces or use quote marks, the space before "AVC" separates arguments (using quotes or escaping the space wouldn't help because "Mpeg4 AVC (x264)" is not a valid encoder name either, but x264 alone would be correct).
The same applies to the audio codec.
--force-alt-h264 is invalid since a decade or so, but harmless as it is ignored.
--load should be placed first.

Your command line orders it to do so.
You get tinyPy exception because you haven't defined adm before calling its member. It was meant to be
adm = Avidemux()first, then you can reference it as adm.
