What are the three parts of the ear and what structures are located in each part?

You have external ear, middle ear and the internal ear. You have the auricle and the ear canal is there in the external ear. Then you have a ear drum, that separates external ear from the middle ear. In the middle ear, you have three tiny bones. Eustachian canal is there in the middle ear. Then you have oval and round window to separate the middle ear from internal ear. In the internal ear, you have vestibulocochlear apparatus and the vestbulocochlear nerve is there.

Why does betahistine target the middle ear?

Betahistine actually targets the inner ear, but since it is used as an inhalant, the sinus cavities are linked to the middle ear by the Eustacian tubes which deliver the histamine (Betahistine) into the middle ear where it dilates the blood vessels within the middle ear which can relieve pressure from excess fluid and act on the smooth muscle. This is in turn can alleviate the symptoms of Ménière's disease, which involves the inner ear and is experienced as dizzyness (vertigo).
