The play is about a girl that was abused. Because she was abused, people started to avoid her. This speaks to the theme of the text.

How might the absence of Pecola's voice be symbolic?

The absence of Pecola's voice is symbolic because it shows how helpless and voiceless (that is inability to get justice) she is.

Is it significant that the only person to whom Pecola speaks more than a few words is the prostitute named Miss Marie?

Yes, it is. In the setting, the prostitute - Marie represents other people who suffer the same fate of injustice and social prejudice that Pecola now lives with.
