Can one find a mount point just knowing the volume name?

Bingo.

I've done this (don't ask for the code, Caltech owns it).  It's not easy; 
you've got to look out for foreign cell mounts and cyclic symlinks, 
symlinks to local filesystems, and make sure you don't go down another 
mount to a volume you've already visited.  If you have anything like a 
large heterogeneous cell, you will be amazed (and disgusted) by some of the 
perverse things people do that will trip you up.
