Once you recover an account to the xbox the same account on a difference xbox goes dead, if you earn any achievements on the other account that is dead they won't count. When you try to sign onto xbox live on the old account you won't be able to due to some error screen coming up saying that you need to do recovery again, so you can only connect account to 1 xbox at any given time, and if you want to connect on some other xbox  you'll need a USB stick or recover the account. If you recover the account and the old xbox goes online and syncs with the XBL servers you can't play the XBLA games on that old xbox anymore.

So to conclude, I think if the old xbox stays offline there shouldn't be any problems of playing XBLA games on it offline.

This is wrong.

You just can't sign into the account once you move it, the option won't be there so you won't have to worry about not gaining achievements on it or anything like that.  Your profile can be connected to any number of Xbox's as long as you actually have your profile with you.

The license transfer is only so you don't have to download the game again.  You can still download that game on another Xbox under your profile and play it and even gain achievements.  The only thing you have to worry about is keeping your profile mobile with a USB stick.

Well I don't know if I phrased it wrong somehow, I've recovered an account on friends Xbox, then went home and played some Split/Second without recovering my account back, assuming that it would just sync my new achievements next time I sign in. It didn't. It reset all of them back from the ~600 or so down to the original amount I had when I transferred my account, so about 90 or so. I've somehow managed to lose 510. After I've recovered my account back to my 360 my friends 360(on which we DLed Castle Crashers which I've brought a while back) couldn't be played.
