I have an NFS share which is shared across about two other machines. I recently realized that one of the servers isn’t sharing the directory and is keeping files all for itself. Is there a way to see if the NFS share is mounted in the directory I think it is in?

Method 1
Maybe you are looking for
df .
When you are in the directory you want to know the mountpoint of?
Method 2
Straphka idea to use df will work well if you add some flags like the -T that shows filesystem type, (and maybe the -P for posix compability).
And to top it off we can use awk to filter the output so we only print the type output column.
df -PTh . | awk '{print $2}'
or if you like to check up on a dir called smb/media/ in your homedir.
df -PTh ~/smb/media/ | awk '{print $2}'
Method 3
You can use this:
stat -f -c %T .
It outputs nfs, ext2/ext3 or something different.
Method 4
You can use lsblk command as well.
Also, if you want to know things in detail:
$ df -T (file system type) $ df -h (Humana readable format)
For your question mount -l is the answer as others have said.
Method 5
The command
stat <file-spec> --printf=%m
does the trick.
