For what direct value support means, and how to calculate the values, consult Entity Programming - Introduction to Entities with Animated Models#Low-level animation control
For the expansion packs, the paths are relative to their respective mod folders relative to Half-Life executable:
- Half-Life: Opposing Force = gearbox/
- Half-Life: Blue Shift = bshift/

should we add all other entities not available in the FGD, as well as all other hardcoded models/sprites precached and used by all these entities?

I think adding entities used for displaying models, such as cycler* entities and env_sprite, could come in handy for those wanting to use props with multiple body/skin groups.
