No, '*/tmp' will avoid backing up any files named "tmp" or any empty
subdirectories named "tmp" as long as they are NOT in the root of the
share -- but it will not exclude any files IN directories named "tmp",
which, from your description, is probably what you want.
It may help to imagine that rsync makes a list of files and directories
relative to the share, and then applies your excludes to it to eliminate
things from that list. As you might guess, */tmp doesn't match a lot of
things on that list such as tmp/filename.
Also note that exclude paths are relative, so if you want to match /tmp
in the root of the share, the proper exclude to use is simply 'tmp'.
If you want to exclude anything in a subdirectory named tmp, then 'tmp/'
should do the trick.

That's unnecessary.

(see above) I assume the extension exclusions are more-or-less working
as you expect them to. You may want to review the Xferlog.
