I'm trying to have a header show up on the first page only, and the footer
show page numbers on all pages. However, the "different first page" option
seems to link the header and footer so that they cannot be dealt with
separately. Is there any way to do this?

When you enable "Different first page" you are instructing Word to create a
first page header AND a first page footer; this is by design. Just copy the
contents of the main footer into the first page footer.
