I made a backup using ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.7d of my Samsung I9305 (it runs a rooted stock Android 4.4.4). I selected "Backup and restore" and then "Backup to /storage/sdcard1". The resulting image was of about 7GB.

According to: https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/ClockWorkMod_Instructions#Making_a_backup
ClockworkMod's backup/restore feature will generally only back up the
/system,/data,/cache,/sd-ext, and/dalvik-cacheareas. Other
partitions such as/emmc,/sdcard, and/mediawon't be backed up.
In
fact, the backed up system will typically be saved to the/sdcard/
partition in the/clockworkmod/backup/directory, which, depending on
your device, may or may not be actually located on a physical
removable SD card.
According to your question:
- The firmware?
Definitely Yes.
- My modifications to the firmware such as root, Xposed Framwork, installed Xposed modules, etc?
Definitely Yes.
- My installed apps?
Definitely Yes.
- App data?
Definitely Yes.
- Other data I had stored on the internal SD card?
Definitely NO, /sdcard is not backed up, because of there would be a CWM backup. Read: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/how-to-backup-internal-sdcard-t1999853
