To me the missing piece in understanding the Bible is Biblical Theology which is understanding the Bible as a whole. I was never taught in church growing up that the Bible had a single, consistent story much less how the parts of the Bible fit into that story.
So a good book on Biblical Theology would be very helpful to you, like this one.
I'm not aware of any catechisms that are structured that way, but what you are describing is basically the difference between Systematic Theology and Biblical Theology.
If you want to get a good primer in Biblical Theology, there are several great sources out there.
The Goldsworthy Trilogy (Gospel and Kingdom, Gospel in Wisdom, Gospel in Revelation) by Graeme Goldsworthy
According to Plan by Graeme Goldsworthy
God's Big Picture by Vaughan Roberts
What is Biblical Theology by James Hamilton
A small book helped me get started on reading the OT (and also the whole bible). Since you aren't an absolute beginner, most of the things are common knowledge, but it helps in wrapping it all together in a framework when reading the OT.
