If you buy from the Xbox 360 store on an Xbox 360 console there are no guarantees that everything is backwards compatible.

If you buy it on the Xbox One/Xbox Series store, then it's guaranteed to be backwards compatible.

Would have been great if Microsoft just made the entire library of games backwards compatible, but that is a pipe dream due to licensing issues.

Yes.

Another thing that's frustrating is if you buy an Xbox 360 game on the web browser, mobile app, or the subsequent consoles (One, Series X/S) I don't think it's guaranteed to show up on your download list on Xbox 360. However, the games will sometimes. 

I placed an order for an Xbox 360 E (hasn't shipped yet) but I'm very hesitant to even try buying a cheap digital game on anything else other than the Xbox 360 Store in case I can't even download it on 360. 

You can go into your purchase history on your Xbox 360 and download from there.

Well I dont buy from within any console store, I buy online - but ya I dont have a xbox360, only a Series S (and I buy from the Microsoft store/xbox store lol).

I wish everything was b/c - most of my games are b/c games lol

Keep in mind that same issue still exists as there is a web Xbox One/Xbox Series store and a web Xbox 360 marketplace.

See here for Xbox One/Series:

And Xbox 360 Marketplace:
