I didn't keep the .XPI file, unfortunately. Is it possible from a phone's file structure to export or even build this from(/out of?) a currently installed add-on that can no longer be (easily) downloaded?

I'm on rooted PixelOS and only thing I have under data that's related to firefox are:

Android -> data -> org.mozilla.firefox -> files -> Downloads

and there is 0 files

You're looking in the wrong place. You need to be looking in /data/data, not /sdcard/Android/data.
