So, I work in Yellowstone and the rest of the state doesn't really recognize the tourist parts as really true Wyoming. The schedule you described is the Disney tour. Having worked with the Disney tour, it's kinda adventure on rails. It's not a mean criticism, there are few tours that aren't that way. I see the same people leading them every week. You'll be seeing and doing the same stuff every week with people who are way more interested in the Disney brand than they'll be interested in the state of Wyoming. If I'm wrong and you aren't with Disney, my advice is still mostly the same. Focus your attention on the specific places on the tour.
Read all of Yellowstone Resources and Issues.
Grand Teton has a recommended reading list for guides. In addition to that, the rest of both official sites are a trove of information in the "Learn about the Park" sections.
Check out Roadside Geology of Yellowstone Country for interesting features to point out while traveling between locations.

Maybe read some Edward Abbey for your soul. :) I do hope you have a great summer. I came for a summer, fell in love with Yellowstone and then found the rest of the state and decided to never leave.
I honestly think you're making this harder than it needs to be. A few good books should tell you all you need to know about the region. Buy now and read for the next 9 months, and you will appreciate the place so much more. The 'roadside geology' series is generally quite good. https://www.amazon.com/Roadside-Geology-Yellowstone-Country-William/dp/0878425810/
There are dozens of hiking guides, and more than a few books dedicated to the wildlife and fauna of the region.
Depending on the length of your vacation, you might consider also camping in an adjacent national forest. I camped for 5 days in the Wind River mountains to see the eclipse and saw moose, antelope, badgers, etc., in a gorgeous setting. And even with the eclipse pending, the people density was orders of magnitude lower than any place in Yellowstone. The Beartooth mountains NE of the park are some of the prettiest in the region.
