Also, can I expect any benefits of running an Xbox 360 port on my Xbox One (like higher framerates) or not?

To illustrate, one game that springs to mind for no particular reason is Rise of the Tomb Raider. There's an xbox360/ps3 version that lacks a bunch of the visual bells and whistles the Xb1/PS4 version does have. So if you own the xb360 version and use backwards compat to play it on Xb1, will you have those bells and whistles or not? Second example, I played Bioshock Infinite on xb360. It suffered greatly from framerate issues. If I play that through backward compatibility, will the added processing power of Xb1 provide higher (or at least more consistent) framerates than Xbox 360?

You'll notice a big difference in filesize as well. That said, a handful of 360 games received 4K downloadable upgrades like Gears and Forza; essentially a texture pack. You would need a X1X for that tho. In cases like Bioshock, you'll get the 360 version. The Remastered version is technically a different piece of software with its own achievements and saves. The 360 version will not automagically give you the One version.
