But I can not figure out how to get into them directly (after highlighting them). Is there a way? Right now, I am reduced to typing c -> =foldername and then going to the list. Kind of makes the sidebar not at all useful for me so I am thinking that there must be a better value for the sidebar folders.

You're not using mutt to send to the list, what a pity. :-)

There is no key to got to the sidebar,
you have to exec the sidebar-* functions,
you can bind some keys to them.

Here are my bindings:
bind index,pager B sidebar-toggle-visible
bind index,pager \CN sidebar-next
bind index,pager \CP sidebar-prev
bind index,pager \CF sidebar-first
bind index,pager \CL sidebar-last
bind index,pager \CO sidebar-open

It's fun to me, I use it to read tons of emails,
and even huge newsgroups, the headers cache make mutt very fast!
