There are some breeds that do stay relatively little (if you are looking for a pocket-sized piglet, I've got nothing for you! :D ) There is a breed within the Potbellies that are about 50 lb.
Try your local farm animal rescue. There are some pig-related websites too.

None that I know of. Even the cute little potbellied piglets grow up to be huge.
Make sure you do a lot of research before getting any kind of pet. Getting an animal because it's cute, especially a non-conventional type of pet like a pig, can be a disaster. You have to take them to a special vet, as farm vets will treat them like a farm animal, not a pet, and those are more expensive. Then you have the food, supplies and basic upkeep of the animal. Know your stuff before commiting to a pet.

Cute? That's strictly a judgement call
but there are oriental pigs - Vietnamese? - that stay small and in some places have become popular as pets. Sorry I can't be more precise but during this Year of the Pig, I would think they would be easy to find....

No, I don't think so unless the is some kind of wild pig that you couldn't get. Even the Pot Belly pigs get pretty large.

try a potbellied pig. They are great pets and stay pretty small. Most pigs grow huge for eating (I'm a vegetarian, so i don't believe in that) but potbellies are bred to be pets look at this website.

Vietnamese Potbellies don't grow too large, and some people believe they make great pets.

if cuteness is all you want, then you don't need a pig. they are a big responsibility, and you need to know more about their care, than just how cute they are.
