You look at the `scope` property of the Catch node. If is is null/absent, then it will catch errors from any node on the tab. Otherwise the property is an array of node ids.

That said, if scope is null and `uncaught` is true, then it will only handle errors for nodes that aren't targeted by another Catch node in the tab.

Are there also runtime equivalents for `RED.nodes.getAllFlowNodes`, `RED.nodes.getAllUpstreamNodes` and `RED.nodes.getAllDownstreamNodes`?

No. As I have explained before, the runtime does not provide very much to help you navigate the flow because it is not something we expect nodes to be doing.
