Answer 1

Enable SMTP protocol logs and the connectors used are in those entries

You can use log parser if there is a lot:

You could create Message Trace report on Exchange online admin center to check the email sent from/to Exchange on-premises:

Here is an example to check emails that sent from Exchange on-premises(*@localdomain.com)

From the Exchange on-premises, you can also use command below to check emails send from specified connector:

Get-TransportService | Get-MessageTrackingLog -ResultSize unlimited | where{$_.ConnectorId -like "Outbound to Office 365*"}
