I have recently discovered the "Adventurers League" (yeah... I've been hiding under a rock apparently) and am confused -- hoping someone can help me. The current storyline is the Dreams of the Red Wizards series. My confusion is in the fact that it doesn't look like this is a string of related adventures for one party to go through. I say this because the level suggestions do not start at one level and ascend from there but rather bounce all over the place. So, what is the purpose of the Adventurers League? Can the adventures be used to essentially run a single campaign?

Adventurers League is about doing pickup games and not a full campaign with the same DM & players.
The idea is that after you register a character with Adventurers League, you can go to a place that participates in Adventurers League, like a local gaming store or an online discord server, and find a time slot when a DM is running an AL adventure at a Tier appropriate for your character's level (Tier 1 is levels 1-4.) You and other players join the DM's adventure as a party, go through the adventure, and afterwards you receive some rewards and level up.
Some AL DMs will run a series of adventures from a hardcover book in order, with about the same group of people showing up each time, but that's not a requirement or expectation. It can be a helpful way to get some D&D in your life, and possibly meet some good people that you could form a group with.
