Firs of all, mylib.cma is simply an archive of OCaml modules. It may 
contain multiple modules, and might not contain a module called Mylib.

You have to ensure that mylib.cmo is included in mylib.cma. Moreover, 
when you create mylib.cma, you also need a compiled interface, i.e. a 
mylib.cmi file. It's an interface for mylib.cmo. Without it, there's no 
description of module Mylib in mylib.cma.

You've got something fundamentally wrong here:

Out of main.ml (lower case for the the first letter), you first create a 
main.cmo file. And also a main.mli file with ocamlc -i. You compile the 
main.mli file to main.cmi. Then you create the mylib.cma archive from 
main.cmo and main.cmi.

And mylib.cma will contain the module Main. Not the module Mylib.

Here, you're declaring the submodule Mylib of the module Main. Also 
known as Main.Mylib. Not as Mylib.

There are some tools, such as ocamldumpobj and ocamlobjinfo. Forgot 
which one applies to .cmas.

Can't help you here.
