Unfortunately, nothing is in the arp table other than the router.  I
could ping the entire subnet and then check the arp table, but I was
looking for something more elegant.  I could also nmap the entire
subnet, scanning some specific ports.

I do not have access.

There is called VRDP, a Virtual RDP service.  Unfortunately, that
feature is not available in the OpenSource Edition, (OSE)

For the future I'm thinking of setting up a second virtual NIC in the
VM that directly connects the host to the guest.  Again, I haven't
found anything in the manual for creating a host-only network.
