If Firewall-1 on Windows receives a packet on a segment that is destined for
the same segment, will the packet be subjected to the Firewall-1 rules
before it is (possibly) passed back to the segment?

No. This is something that used to be possible in some ancient versions
of firewall-1, but no more. The reason for this is that the OS might
issue an icmp redirect packet to the host which in turn will create a
temporary static route and then this trafic will bypass the firewall
totally.
