  • Is a particular function defined?

Use the exists function:

:echo exists("*funcname")
  • Which source file is a given function defined in?

Unfortunately, there's no straight-forward way to do this. You would have to parse the output of :verbose function.

  • What are the vimscript files that have been sourced?

Again, there's no straight-forward way to do this. You would have to parse the output of :scriptnames.

What's the big picture for what you're trying to do that made you ask these questions? There may be a better way to achieve it without needing answers to each question.
