I assume there are other helpful functions like this that aren't documented on the wiki (such as \DropCap). Is there a place where these things are documented that I should be looking? Or a particular piece of source code I should read to get acquainted with these sorts of library functions?

You definitely need to check syst-aux.mkiv.

The wiki explains a few of the command too:
