The predicates should work fine.
The total number of apps
<xsl:value-of select="count(//apps)"/>
The total number of apps that have a sysid child node of value 415.
<xsl:value-of select="count(//apps[sysid='415'])"/>
The total number of apps that have a sysid child node of value 416.
<xsl:value-of select="count(//apps[sysid='416'])"/>
