Your best place to ask would be in 'Techie Stuff'. There are very many knowledgeable people in there. Good luck.

Which operating system? In Windows, you can see the model and some info about your graphics card in the Device Manager.

Here's a video describing the process for Windows 10.

GPU-Z will show a lot of info about your graphics card. It does not show any info about the memory for my Intel onboard graphics but that is not set in my bios, it is on auto. GPU-Z should show the memory for a separate graphics card.

Mine is currently using 572MB of my memory because onboard graphics is allocated from system memory.

Quite right. It should only show dedicated memory not stolen from ram.

As a general rule most onboard memory solutions will use a portion of the system memory. This figure will almost certainly be either 128Mb or 256Mb. Some desktops you may be able to change this amount.

Most laptops will almost certainly be "onboard graphics" in the same way as a desktop, unless you paid a fortune and then some more for it.

Note that increasing the amount allocated to graphics memory will not, in 99.9% of cases, increase the performance of the graphics itself. If your aim is to increase your gaming performance then a separate/dedicated card (and maybe power supply) will be needed instead. While onboard graphics have become better in recent years nothing beats a dedicated card.
