How to find out what Shell I am in?

% ps -p $$

To find out what OS you're using:
$ uname

Usage: uname [OPTION]...
Print certain system information.  With no OPTION, same as -s.

  -a, --all                print all information, in the following order,
                             except omit -p and -i if unknown:
