I have been told that using the full system image backup will create a full copy of every file on my boot partition. However, I have also heard that when copying saved passwords in some browsers, it would require a "sync" or some other in-browser feature for them to successfully be backed up as otherwise some sort of encryption interferes with this process (this may be my incorrect understanding, though). I manage a lot (50+) of different browser profiles within different browsers and so I am wondering if I create a full system image backup of my C drive it will encounter any problems with the saved passwords or any other browser data e.g. logged-in accounts logging out or if I will be able to continue as normal with no hiccups. Thanks!

A true full-disk image will save your whole disk, including everything that the browser knows or remembers. The data of the browsers is saved along with every folder and file and even the boot software and data. Everything.
The Windows Backup program is not recommended - use a third-party product. My favorite is AOMEI Backupper Freeware, but there are others.
