Hello! I haven't actually read the entire manga, I probably need to at some point. But, I have looked into this. From what I can tell, the original InuYasha anime series covers chapter 1 through about the first half of chapter 356. The original series did omit certain chapters that were in the manga, so some characters are only in the manga. Now, as for InuYasha: The Final Act, from what I've heard the anime leaves out significant portions of the manga. It would stand to reason that starting with the second half of chapter 356 all the way up until the final chapter which is chapter 558 would be what is covered in The Final Act, but that is not the case. Several chapters are not adapted in the anime, or they are rearranged so that events happen in a different order in the anime as opposed to how they happened in the manga.

Wow, I certainly had a lot to say here. I hope that made sense. To summarize, the first InuYasha series covers chapters 1-356, with slight differences. InuYasha: The Final Act covers chapters 356-558, with major differences between the anime and manga.
