P.S. How does the Rollei 35 compare to the Olympus RC and the XA in
size? is it in between the two? to which is it closer?

I have a 35 and an XA:

The XA is fractionally smaller than the Rollei, but is much more
pocketable owing to its lack of protruding bits when closed up.
When ready-to-shoot the Rollei appears quite a bit bigger because
its lens has to be pulled out to 40mm from the film plane - the XA
has a telephoto design.
