Is a wife's leaving the house in the company of her husband considered a divorce, knowing that the husband had previously told her, "If you leave the house without my knowledge or permission, you are not to return"? And is the husband's general permission for his wife to leave whenever she wishes without restriction sufficient?

If you did not intend divorce with this phrase, then it does not occur, especially if your going out was with your husband and not by yourself. And if he intended divorce, then gave you general permission to go out, divorce does not occur. And all that you mentioned does not cause divorce to occur.
