Say I am browsing Info in emacs and I want to describe the place I am
as best I can with one command.

Of all the bewildering Info functions and variable, which tells me not
only the current node, but what tree i am in etc.

Does `Info-copy-current-node-name' do what you want?

(Info-copy-current-node-name)

Put the name of the current info node into the kill ring.
The name of the info file is prepended to the node name in parentheses.

Use `c' or the 'Info -> Copy Node Name' menu:

,----[ C-h f Info-copy-current-node-name RET ]
| Info-copy-current-node-name is an interactive compiled Lisp function
| in `info'.  (Info-copy-current-node-name)
| 
| Put the name of the current info node into the kill ring.  The name of
| the info file is prepended to the node name in parentheses.
