My Pokemon ball landed, hit, and caught the thing, but the game kind of hiccuped for a split second, and the monster is back out in the screen where I have to try and capture him again. This repeated for a couple of times, with my Pokemon ball landing, hitting, and capturing him at least 4 times. But each time, he just came back. For the whole time, my ball count kept dropping since I was throwing balls at him. Eventually, I gave up and quit.
Did anything like this happen to someone else? Was it became my character level was too low?

That's the whole premise of catching them - it's a battle of sort.
It happened because the pokemon was too strong for you, or you were timing your throws poorly, or a combination. You want to try and hit the pokemon in the middle, with the circle as small as possible.
What you experienced was, my friend, the game :P
