Thank you! This made it click for me! So, UTXOs are like individual dollar bills, and for convenience, a wallet tallies them up into a single number for me. If I want to pay for something that is smaller than my smallest UTXO, it's like if it was possible to tear a paper bill in half, where the person I paid gets part of it, and I get part back as change, and it's still separate from the other "bills" in my wallet?

Exactly!

When it gets really small to the point where it's not worth the data cost to spend it, it's called dust. Thankfully dust doesn't really matter when you only use lightning. It only matters on-chain.
