Al, I don't believe you can take summoned creatures very far, nor can they exchange inventory with you. They're not followers per se.
What do you mean, Persuasion (expert)? If you persuade somebody to join you, then they're a follower, and count to the total of nine you're permitted.
I also admit, I don't understand what's meant by Arronax, Bane, Dog, etc. By Dog, do you mean the Mutt? He's simply a follower, and counts (again) again the total your charisma can support, up to nine.
