I like what you have come up with in your theory. And here is a little thing I found to back you up...
"Marathon takes place in the year 2794 aboard a large, multi-generational colony spacecraft called the UESC (United Earth Space Council) Marathon. The ship was converted from Deimos, one of Mars' two moons."

The Marathon logo...
Yes, we've all seen it, and it is the same as in Halo. No explanation for this one...
MJOLNIR...
MJOLNIR is used as a soldier class in Marathon just like how it is used as project names for unlockable armor like Scout (even though that's Recon Project) and Rogue.
"The invasion on Tau Ceit, Leela states, was unsuccessful, as nine mjolnir military cyborgs had been hiding among the population. According to Leela, ten were smuggled onto the Marathon three hundred year prior when the ship left Mars and several historical files were deleted."

If Marathon didn't take place until about 200 years after MC was lost in space, then how does this just sound fitting into a Halo story line. It seems like Marathon took place 100 years before MC was lost in space if you ask me... DO THE MATH!
Terminals...
Yes, there are 7 terminals in Halo 3, which relate to how Marathon has terminals and how the number 7 is a huge part in Marathon (and Bungie's favorite number!) In both games they show logs and data that are some what important information for the story line.
Hunters...
Just take a look. Now I have a good thought that the Flood has no relation to this, but take a look at the picture I found anyway and see how close of a relation the Halo 3 hunters are to the 2 huge purple like aliens.

You'll see the relation.
Another fact...
"Leela and the security officer complete several tasks afterward, such as rescuing several crew members being attacked in a recreational area, decompressing a highly infested area, and sending a message to earth to warn them of the invasion."

To go along with the ship being a hollowed out moon from Mars. This is just another piece of evidence. It happened near Earth like Halo did... see the resemblance now?
I support his theory.
