Looking for a wireless network emulator
I found and forked the https://github.com/whitefield-framework/whitefield project that shares the same objective. It simulates the IEEE802.15.4 protocol using NS-3 and lets you run your code that uses upper-layers implementation from RIOT-OS. It's not perfect nor a finished product but it gives you an idea of what you can do. In the end, it depends on the radio protocol you are using and what part of the network stack exactly you need to simulate.

How to know if device is being used as bridge?
See https://github.com/openthread/openthread/issues/3311 You probably need an nRF dongle (costs only a few bucks. I think I bought 2 for €12 a year ago.)
