So ... do you know of any companies that sell panniers with wheels?

Or as an alternative to that, are there small, light, foldable "trollies" onto which one could place panniers (or suitcases) to transport them around?
Yes, and it is called the Burley Travoy trailer. It can be folded and considered carry on on airlines.

I do own one and had used this extensively with my folding bike on tours.
