I appreciate the "short-cut" to get page numbers to begin on the second page. However, there's still an issue with a table of contents, because even with the -1 offset, the TOC is showing items as being on the "physical" page number, rather than what's showing in the header.

For example, if the first two pages consist of a table of contents, I can create a style for those pages without page numbering. I can set physical page three to begin another page style (eg, "Main Style") and include page numbering with an offset of -2 so physical page 3 displays "Page 1." However, the TOC still shows that the material on "Main Style" begins on page 3, not page 1. Is there a way to set a table of contents to "obey" the page numbering?

Yes. In this situation, the break between the front matter and the main, page-numbered part with be at a defined point. Don't use the Offset in the Edit Fields window. Instead, at the end of the front matter, go to Insert | Manual Break..., select "Page break", select the page style for the main part from the drop-down list under Style, tick "Change page number", and set the first page number below to "1". Update the table of contents.

I trust this helps.
