Does a mountain bike ride differently than a folding bike?
Would I get the same work out with the folding bike, though its smaller. Are there folding bikes that change speed?
Do the smaller wheels make a difference?

You'll still get a good workout either way. The smaller wheels lose their inertia quicker, so it takes more effort to maintain a steady speed. But the smaller wheels "spin up" to speed easier than the big, heavy mtb wheels. Maybe more important is the tread pattern. If you ride an mtb with off-road tires, that'll slow you down a lot compared to smoother tires of most folders. (You can get smooth tires for mtbs, though.) So that's more of a workout again.
The reason to get a folding bike is storage space, or less cost when traveling by plane with it. The best reason to get an mtb is, you're planning on riding off-road with it (and I don't mean paved bike trails or sidewalks.) Get the style of bike that suits your particular needs. What's more important, that it takes up less space when not being ridden, or that you can "shred" in the great outdoors with it? There's a reason there's 31 Flavors!
And, yes, there are folding bikes that change speeds. The new Shimano internal hubs are common on these, less so the much pricier but higher quality Rohloff hubs from Germany.
