Display All availability groups visible to this server when the  Server is the Primary replica

SELECT Groups.[Name] AS AGname
FROM sys.dm_hadr_availability_group_states States
INNER JOIN master.sys.availability_groups Groups ON States.group_id = Groups.group_id
WHERE primary_replica = @@Servername;

Display All availability groups visible to this server when this Server is a Secondary replica

SELECT Groups.[Name] AS AGname
FROM sys.dm_hadr_availability_group_states States
INNER JOIN master.sys.availability_groups Groups ON States.group_id = Groups.group_id
WHERE primary_replica != @@Servername;

Display All Databases Across all Availability groups within the Cluster 

SELECT  Groups.[name] AS AGName ,
Databaselist.[database_name] AS DatabaseName
FROM    sys.availability_databases_cluster Databaselist
INNER JOIN sys.availability_groups_cluster Groups ON Databaselist.group_id = Groups.group_id
ORDER BY
AGName ,
DatabaseName;

How to Check which replicas have read only config in place to allow them to be readable when set within an Availability Group

INNER JOIN sys.availability_replicas PrimaryServer ON RoutingList.replica_id = PrimaryServer.replica_id
INNER JOIN sys.availability_replicas ReadOnlyReplica ON RoutingList.read_only_replica_id = ReadOnlyReplica.replica_id
INNER JOIN sys.availability_groups Groups ON Groups.group_id = PrimaryServer.group_id
