If an instance is running, and I have the ID plus region plus the usual info, is there a way to check whether the instance is spot or on-demand using boto3?

Yes, you can use ec2.describe_instances() and check for the InstanceLifecycle value which for a spot instance will be 'spot'. There may also be a 'SpotInstanceRequestId' value.
