Answer 1

I found a way to get the VM status as follows: Check, if this helps !

Find WvdSessionHost Name as below:

Get-AzWvdSessionHost "ResourceGroup01" -HostPoolName "MYPOOL1" | Select Name  

Get VM status. Note that, Name to be added as vd-0 from VD/vd-0

Get-AzVM -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup01" -name vd-0 -Status  

This will show the full status details. At the end you can also see the running status

It sounds like you need to assign a bit different permissions to read the running status of Virtual Desktops : rbac

If the above commands are not helping, we need to try with az cli command for getting more details of Azure Virtual Desktop machines deployed.
Make sure that you have installed the required PowerShell modules: Install-Module -Name Az.DesktopVirtualization

Get the host pool details with the list of WVD host pool hosted in the WVD environment. : AzWVDHostPool | Select-Object *
Get-AzWVDSessionHost to get a list of session hosts attached to each host pool

Get-AzWvdSessionHost -ResourceGroupName $ResGroup -HostPoolName $PoolName | Select-Object *  

Hope, the above details will help to frame the required command you are looking for
