In general, you should implement the  'remember property'
<http://robmensching.com/blog/posts/2010/5/2/the-wix-toolsets-remember-property-pattern/>
  
pattern to recover data that you will need for repair or uninstall.  However
for finding the account that a service is using you could do a
RegistrySearch something like this  (The Object registry key value-name is
set to a service's account name):

    <Property Id="SERVICE_ACCOUNT">
      <RegistrySearch Id='SERVICE_ACCOUNT' Root='HKLM'
Key='SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Service_Key' Name='Object'
Type='raw'/>
    </Property>
