let say if you have id as txtatinyID

 <textarea class="editorHtml" id="txtatinyID"></textarea>

so following will return txtatinyID in tinyMCE V4

$(tinymce.activeEditor.selection.getNode()).closest('body').data('id')

So it will find the body of the current active editor and on the base of it will look for body and in it will get the value of data-id.

First, it is important which node you want to get the id from. If you want to get the if of the parent node of your selection in TinyMCE use 

tinymce.activeEditor.selection.getNode().id;

EDIT: In case you have a single node in your editor you can access this node id using

tinymce.activeEditor.getBody().firstChild.id;
