The concern is likely whether a child will be considered a competent witness in court, depending on age, rather than whether hearsay will be allowed. Generically, hearsay is not allowed unless there is some exception to the rule disallowing it, or an exemption. there are no exceptions or exemptions due to the declarent's age. It may be possible in some circumstances that if the child is older than 3, and they are the victim or a witness of a serious crime, they may very well be called as a witness. The appropriate hearsay objection would be when the child witness is asked what someone else said.

I don't know in which facility the girl would be held. There is no bail for contempt. Contempt is the "willful" refusal to comply with a court's order. The only way to be released from jail is to comply with the court's order. In this case, the girl would remain in jail until she agrees to testify.
