How often and how do you clean your boats livewell?
Once a year with vinegar and a brush. Always leave the lid open when storing to get some air circulation.

Trailer Dolly
I have used one in the past with a single axle trailer on an asphalt driveway. They work well on a hard surface drive. Using one on grass might be difficult. Try renting one for a few hours to find out if it will work for you. The trailer dolly will not work with a dual axle trailer unless you elevate one side of the axle with a second wheel dolly.

Bass coming off after jumping
Bury your rod in the water when the line is moving up to the surface & keep pressure on them. If you cannot keep them from jumping keep the line tight when they clear the water. Don't give them any slack. I almost always hold the rod to the side parallel to the water when fighting a bigger smallie. The side pressure seems to help keep them from jumping.

Your recommendations for a round baitcaster for big swimbaits and inshore fishing
The shimano Tekota is a trolling reel. It was not designed as a casting reel. As a rule of thumb Shimano has named all casting reels starting with the letter C for casting. All the trolling reels start their names with a T.
