Is the holding of one's breath or the emission of an unarticulated sound upon hearing the Imam utter words of separation, coupled with the intention of divorce, considered a divorce?

What you mentioned has no relation to divorce (). Divorce occurs through an explicit pronouncement or an ambiguous statement (kinayah) accompanied by intention, and you had no such intention. As for words or actions that are unrelated to divorce, it does not occur through them, even if one intended it.
