The IRC command 'WHOIS' will respond if they're connected or not, but it won't tell you if they're in your channel or not.

If you want to find out if they're in a channel, you *might* get that from their WHOIS information, but the server might hide channel membership for various reasons. You can *usually* see if they're in the same channel *you* are in, but if that's not the case, you might not see it. Channels can be secret or private-moded, which means they're hidden from various requests.
