How can I find out, directly, the toolkit a window is using.

As an example, pavucontrol ... a pulse audio volume control window.

For example, is there something like xwininfo that would provide the toolkit info?

Just look at the dependencies of the package. If you see gtk3/gtk4, then it's logical it's been written with either one of these two. If you see qt5/qt6, same logic.
