And, despite you saying that the contract was for one big price for the whole thing, there are, in fact, details available to you during the purchase process and in the receipt showing the split of the fare.
This is correct. You did not buy a ticket MEM-MEM, you bought a roundtrip ticket MEM-IAH. MEM is the origin, IAH is the destination on the outbound and vice versa on the return.

Stopovers are an old concept which are rarely offered today (especially on domestic tickets). An example of a stopover would have been if you flew MEM-DFW, spent a few days in DFW and then continued DFW-IAH.
