There is no pre-defined function for finding which contexts a symbol is defined in, but you can use the following to iterate over all known contexts and find the value of a symbol without creating any new symbols in the contexts tested:
valueInAllContexts[symbol_] := Symbol /@ Names[# <> ToString[symbol] & /@ $ContextPath];
Typical result for a var
known globally and in two contexts:
{ContextA`var, ContextB`var,var}
Above, the var is known in each context but does not have values. If it has a value valB
in, say, one of the contexts ContextB
you'd get:
{ContextA`var,valB,var}
