Given a certain commit, I want there's a command/option for git to
make it search the remote repo (e.g. origin) and tell me the
branches there which contain that commit.

git branch --contains <commit>
git branch -a --contains <commit>
git tag --contains <commit>

Yes and no.  These are all local operations, so you would need to do
a "git clone" before starting to dig history like that.
