Is there any tool out there that will let me see the type, number, and
size in bytes of objects on the heap in the ASP.Net process?
 
Yes, there are a couple tools.

CLR Profiler [1] can display the heaps and show you the relative
number and the types on objects on the heap.

WinDbg [2] with SOS.dll can dump the entire heap, and show you the
address and type of every object on the heap. Quite powerful, but a
bit of a leaning curve (not much if you just want to dump the heap).
Googlel for WinDbg and SOS and you'll find a few tutorials. The most
recent version from January also includes shortcut commands to dump
the asp.net cache and other features.
