If I understand you correctly what you are proposing will provide 230/115 to your branch panels.
The #6 copper drop cord from the generator and the #4 aluminum will hold 50 amps. I assume the plug in the garage is a 50 amp?? If so it will look sorta like one you plug a stove into.
I would turn off all breakers in all the panel boxes except the ones you want to run. Even then you may have to turn them on one at a time. The generator may not have enough peak output to start the well, heater and fridge at the same time. Probably won"t, you might even have to phase things in and out (Just run one at the time)
Definately turn off the main breaker. Pulling the meter will completely disconnect you from the power company. I will leave that one to you. It is definetly the safest bet and will ensure that noone in the house flips on a main and tries to energize the power company.
I know your in a tough spot, and you have a plan that will work just make sure you stay around and sleep with one eye open, and keep an eye on everything. Without knowing you, what scares me the most about your situation is the hurrying and the sense of urgency and that can lead to bad mistakes. Good Luck..
