Thomthom's Vertex Tools has an option to ignore backfaces.

After select hit the space to drop the vertex tool and the selected verts convert to a regular selection.

HoverSelect has also the capability for selecting edges. There is a rectangle selection tool.

Does it ignore a face normal? Only selecting the front face visible to camera?

It does not select faces unfortunately, only edges.

But it's relatively easy to do

that'd be a good addition
