When I open an old database that I havent worked on for a while, is there a way to see whether it has a connected Ancestrty Tree, and if so, which, without actually opening TreeShare for Ancestry?

Right click on a person and select Jump to, Jump to Ancestry a message will come up “This person isn’t connected to Ancestry”. Make sure you check with someone you know should be in the Ancestry tree if there is one.
