No need for that at the moment, ELEMENT_TYPE_CLASS will suffice. What

When you're inside the EE, you can certainly get an IMetaDataImport pointer.
For example, if you have a Module*, you can get its IMetaDataImport pointer.
If you'd like to use the internal import interface, after doing a
GetSigOfFieldDef, you can use FieldSig class (siginfo.*pp) to pick out

IMDInternalImport::GetParentToken() is what you need.
No, that seems to give me the mdTypeDef corresponding to the enclosing
type. I.E:
public class Foo
{
public Bar Field;
}
If I have a mdFieldDef for Field here, calling
My bad. If you see EEClass::InitializeFieldDescs in vm\class.cpp, you
will see how to look up the type of the field using GetSigOfFieldDef (as
Nam also pointed out).

You need to get the field's signature and decode this signature. In the
simplest case (public Bar Field) the signature will be:
{CALLCONV_FIELD,E_T_CLASS,compressed token of Bar} Or
{CALLCONV_FIELD,E_T_VALUETYPE,compressed token of Bar}
For calling convention and element type encoding, see

The best thing is to do whatever
MethodTableBuilder::InitializeFieldDescs does. There are encapsulations
for checking if a signature element refers to a reference type,
