What is the difference between [person] and I, and me and [person]?

I have struggled with this quite a bit, even as someone pretty advanced in English. It’s been explained to me many times, but nothing is making sense.

“I” perform an action.

Someone else performs an action on/to/with/for “me.”

>Jill drove to the mall.

>I drove to the mall.

>Jill and I drove to the mall.

>A nice gentleman held the door open for me.

>A nice gentleman held the door open for Jill.

>A nice gentleman held the door open for me and Jill.

“I” always follows the co-subject. “Me” always precedes the co-object.
