I just went through the process of rooting and roming for the first time and wrote this up for a buddy of mine interested in doing the same. The fact that this is the first time I've done this should be a bit of a warning though.
Still, it worked for me.
Here's basically what I did. You might want to read through them all before starting.

- Backup manually by mounting your phone to your computer and copying everything you care about
- Root
- I used this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1444382
- From a Mac, I think you can do the same, but flash with Heimdall instead of Odin
- Now that you have root, get Titanium Backup from the Market and backup
- This is an awesome app, you can also use it to remove the AT&T bloatware, which will really improve your phone
- Install ClockworkMod (aka, CWM)
- Follow ROM instructions
- I used Slim ICS: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1517486
- Download and install instructions on the web site: http://www.slimroms.com/
- Grab a nightly CM9 ROM for that: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=captivatemtd

Were the instructions I posted not helpful? I thought they were very clear ... not necessarily my steps, but the content in the links.
If you're not understanding one or more of the steps, which ones?
Or you could use stock froyo to go back to stock froyo...

I think he's saying that instead of Designgear's one-click, which will take you back to stock Eclair, you could use a Froyo-based one-click to go back to stock Froyo.
flashing back to eclair as the OP said is probably easier. With 2e recovery, there's no need to modify the 3e recovery file or flash a custom kernel. Just load up cwm.zip on your SD card and flash away.

I don't know that the thing you're looking for exists right now. AdamOutler made a Heimdall-based Froyo one-click, but I don't think there is an Odin-based one.
At the moment, it looks like your choices are to use the Odin-based one-click (by Designgears or Cezar, depending on your bootloader needs), or the Heimdall-based one-click of Froyo.
