I know I can find if a process is being debugged via a call to Debugger.IsAttached in .NET, but I’d like to be able to get the PID of the Visual Studio that is the debugging the processes. Is this possible?

You could use the
TryGetVSInstancemethod outlined in this answer to get a hold of each instance of Visual Studio’s EnvDTE COM Automation object. Once you have that, just iterate the DTE.Debugger.DebuggedProcesses collection and check if any of them are pointing to the same processID as the process you’re interested in.
