Discalimer: I can't believe this is not a duplicate, but a search didn't bring anything up so 3-2-1 here we go

Is Jolla (or a developer) working on a wallet application that would take advantage of the NFC chip in the phone?

I have no idea if the NFC chip on the phone would support that, I can't see why it wouldn't though. This would be pretty sweet even though touch-to-pay (tap-to-pay what ever you want to call it) isn't particarly common yet, although lots of credit cards are starting to have NFC chips for small volume purchases.

How would the app work in practice? A PayPal account link maybe to connect it to my debit/credit card, or more of a prepaid thing where I would have to "upload" money to my wallet before using it?

I am assuming that Google Wallet wouldn't work due to some software/hardware incompatibilities.
