Does such a thing exist? I would love something like that, but is it even feasible? Isn’t there a lot more you need to be aware of, to make a translation of say TS’s objects into C?

These are far from perfect, but still something:

If you aim for 32 bit microcontrollers then you can go with assemblyscript to wasm and then with wasm to C transpiller

They would likely have to severely restrict the range of supported types, for example `window` is likely impossible to compile meaningfully.
