Is what I said to my wife, "Don't tell your father anything, my mother will tell him," with the intention of likening her to my mother, considered Dhah-r (a pre-Islamic Arabian form of divorce)? And is there any consequence if she tells her mother to speak with her father, or if she tells her father that her husband initially wanted money but no longer does?

We ask Allah to grant you well-being from obsessive whispers (waswas), and the greatest means of getting rid of them is to turn to Allah Almighty, and then to disregard them. What you have mentioned does not result in a "Zihar" (a pre-Islamic form of divorce) or anything else.
