Then if I want to say.

I'm halfway between your house and the store. Is it correct this way?


I understood from what you wrote that I have to use the word halfway or midterm depending on the phrase.
Corrections above.
Use halfway between, not between halfway.

Regarding a course, you can say: at midterm
Your can use midterm for pregnancy also (mitad del embarazo=midterm pregnancy).

Yes, but it's more common to hear "we're halfway through the course."
Some others:
We're over the hump.
We're now on the downhill slide/slope.
