[dns-operations] is there a diagnostic tool to obtain delegated ns?

I don't think that will work: res_findzonecut talks to a recursive server,
but to get the delegation NS RRset you need to talk to the authoritative
servers for the parent zone. Also res_findzonecut works from the bottom up
and stops just below the zone cut.
