Hi Phil,
I will try to explain. No, these "markings" (as you call them; \tempo,
\clef, etc.) are valid for their position within the current music (=the
current block). If they are not enclosed by {}, they form a music
expression themself.
I comment your code a bit more:

That's perfectly fine up to now.

Here your staff content starts after {
As you do not state that explicitely, you have a voice starting here.
You tell Lilypond that this staff should be displayed with a treble
clef, in f minor and 4/4 measure.
Then you advise Lilypond to count the pitches in the *following* music
expression relatively to the c''.
> % \tempo "Allegretto con moto"
If you remove the %, the following music expression is this tempo
command and relative only applies to it (and to nothing else).

If you keep the comment, this block is the next music expression and the
relative command applies to this block.
Within the first music expression you start a new one, a new block so to
speak. This is ok, like in math:
(1 + (2 +3)) is the same as (1 + 2 + 3)
If you had put the \tempo (and perhaps all the other "markings") inside
the relative block, there would have been no commenting-problem.

As others have written, this must be placed outside the staff.

I hope this made things clearer.
Cheers,
