What? No local squid proxy? Everyone needs a local squid
proxy/cache. :P

I guess you could use a cache manager, like webmins squid modules, or
cache-manager cgi. Personally when I get the bug to check, I just tail
the log file and check disk usage from time to time.

I believe the answer is that

TCP_HIT/200 is from disk cache

TCP_MEM_HIT/200 is "hot item" from memory cache
