If you have a compiled Dolphin build, the About dialog tells you what the hash is.
There is a handy website: http://changes.dolphin-emu.org/ which has a table of hashes and their corresponding versions. Next page is https://changes.dolphin-emu.org/page.01.html
You can search for the commit description/date/author in gitk in git extensions.
I also sometimes search google for Dolphin 3.5-1348 wiispeak hash.

No, it does not really matter. It's probably better to merge the lesser updated branch into the more updated branch so you can easily update the build with new changes. i.e. merge wiispeak into master. That way you can grab updates to master without doing another merge.

No, the buildbot adds selected branches.

No. The latest revisions in the master branch compile on VS2013.
The topmost commit is the latest in the wiispeak branch: http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/source/list?name=wiispeak
It has a git hash of 808c65c3f5cf470e5c9d925a67db8945b2b1e12f and is Dolphin [wiispeak] 4.0-383.
