Does anyone know of a textbook for first order logic that... 1. Doesn't focus primarily on metalogic. 2. Covers every subtlety of first order logic that doesn't involve metalogic. 3. Has plenty of exercise to test if you truly understand the material.

Your question is somewhat misguided, because the study of logic is, _by definition_ , metalogic. That is, things like first-order theories are the _objects_ being studied.

The practice of proving things in a first-order theory rightly belong to the subjects those theories represent -- e.g. the art of proving things in a first-order theory of real analysis is something you learn from a real analysis textbook, not from a logic textbook. The _practical_ contribution that logic gives would be to teach you about things like how to set up the subject as a first-order theory or as a tool for defining kinds of objects (like abstract vector spaces).

What I _think_ you're looking for exists, but it's not as a _logic_ textbook. What you're looking for is basically something like an "introduction to higher mathematics" type of book that's geared towards preparing the reader for a more rigorous study of mathematics, including things like how to make rigorous formal arguments
