Absolutely.
If you have Quick Draw you could also pull out a ranged weapon to attack with, such as more daggers.
I'm glad this thread was started. My DM was not wanting us to even be allowed to switch targets during Full-Rounding, much less change the method of our attacks. Anyone got the specific text tucked away anywhere?
Why wouldn't he allow this? You're even allowed to take your 5' step between iterative attacks to move up to another target.
Full Round attacks can be divided amongst any targets around you.
Furthermore, if you make a full round attack on someone and they die after attack #1, you can end the full round attack and take a move action. You may have declared a full round attack but you only took the effort equivalent to a standard action.
This combat option is one of the many reason why spring loaded wrist sheathes are awesome.
Kill the guy in front of you and still have an attack left? Pass your primary weapon to your off hand (free action) pop a dagger (or tanglefoot bag, my personal favorite) from your wrist sheathe (free action) toss it with your last attack, and pass your weapon back to your main hand (free action).
Remember you can also 5' adjust between attacks, which can make a big difference when employing short range throwing weapons.
OP specified two weapon fighting. Off Hand is a necessary declaration.
Also, Tanglefoot bags (and other grenade-like weapons) are tracked as Ammunition. Wrist sheathes specifically hold ammunition. The only limiting factor is weight. Turns out they weigh 4 pounds, so you're right. They don't fit.
There's a lot of other grenade-like weapons that would though (acid, alchemist fire, liquid ice, a dust of dryness pellet containing 100 gallons of water…)
Two problems with wrist sheath:
1) it costs a move action to retrieve the item, not a free action (unless I'm missing some addendum somewhere).
2) its RAW is self-contradictory:
The sheath can hold one forearm-length item, such as a dagger, dart, or wand, or up to five arrows or crossbow bolts.
But arrows are significantly longer than a person's forearm, so logically that couldn't work. It does not appear to specifically hold "ammunition" as a category, so anything not dagger, wand or bolt-shaped seems to be precluded.
Where is this "spring-loaded" wrist sheath located? Some 3pp splat book?
A few points on this post in particular. First, a lot of GMs, myself included, would not allow a tanglefoot bag in a spring-loaded wrist sheathe. I draw the line at the items enumerated in the item listing and a rolled up scroll (of the ones that have been asked of me so far). Second, you don't have to declare a "main hand" and an "off hand" until you start making the attacks and if you're only using a single one-handed weapon (and no shield), you can make your "main hand" attacks with either hand. You could even make one with your right hand, swap the item to your left hand, and make the next one with your left hand. The only time "main hand" and "off hand" comes into play is when two-weapon fighting and assigning the .5x Str bonus to the attacks from one of your weapons.This combat option is one of the many reason why spring loaded wrist sheathes are awesome.

If you are implying you can twf with a single weapon swapping hands nothing in the rules suggests this.
Additionally: "The sheath can hold [one forearm-length item, (such as a dagger, dart, or wand)], or [up to five arrows or crossbow bolts]." That should help with your parsing. The arrows/bolts don't need to be forearm length; they are given as an alternative to a forearm-length item.
Parse it how you like, but unless it's a wrist sheath *of holding*, those arrows are going to stick a foot out past your wrist and interfere with whatever you're doing with your hand. Even though RAW state that arrows fit in a wrist sheath, that description is flawed and ought to be FAQed.
I don't mind quirky equipment - the wrist sheath seems like a cool item. And it even seems likely that a specially designed one could hold alchemical items instead, although a tanglefoot bag does seem rather big for it. But an arrow is at least twice the length from the inside of your elbow to your wrist. Maybe what we really need is a "wrist-sheath of holding". <g>

To the OP: No one has mentioned it, but if we go back to your scenario for a moment, the rules actually allow you to take a 5' step after your melee attacks and before you throw that dagger... This is an important feature as it can allow you to mitigate penalties that may be applied to the ranged attack roll due to soft cover, partial cover, or in your specific example: range.
Take a 5' step towards your target, throw from 10', and you don't suffer a -2 penalty for being outside the first range increment.
One other point... Someone mentioned you can abort your full-attack after your first attack. This is true unless you are using "Manyshot". There was a FAQ issued clarifying that Manyshot effectively locks you into a full attack. I suppose you could stop firing and conserve ammo, but you cannot take a move action.
Manyshot: Can I fire two arrows with my shot, then cancel the full attack and take a move?
No. Though the rules for "Deciding between an Attack or a Full Attack (Core Rulebook 187) give you the option to move after your first attack instead of making your remaining attacks, Manyshot locks you into using a full attack action as soon as you use it to shoot two arrows.

Wait, what???
No. No they are not. They are alchemical weapons (a subset of thrown weapons). If they were ammunition, it would be a free action to draw them, and the wrist sheath would be irrelevant.
