findTestObject method expects a path to Test Object in Object Repository, not actual xpath. If you want to use xpath directly in your test case, use this code:

import com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.ConditionType
import com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.TestObject
import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.WebUiBuiltInKeywords as WebUI

TestObject to = new TestObject().addProperty('xpath', ConditionType.EQUALS, "//*[@name='marketId']")
ItemCount = WebUI.getNumberOfTotalOption(to)

Thank you Marek for the quick reply - solution worked great

On a separate note, how do we suggest updates to the Katalon examples / documentation to surface this earlier?

I think Test Object is documented well. See this article:
