Plugin Obtaining organization and fields from parent entity

I'm a .Net developer writing my very first Dynamics CRM Plugin - please excuse my very basic questions. I need to do the following and I am unsure what object's to utilize.

The PlugIn is running on the create of various entities. I want to look at the parent entity and obtain the value of a field "sharepointurl" (which is on all these entities. As the logic is

1-If contract set sharepointurl

2-If contract change then look at the contract entity and get the value stored in "sharepointurl" and do logic then set contract change "sharepointurl"

3-If RFI, Letter, RFP, and others then look at the contract change and get the value stored in "sharepointurl" and do logic then set RFI, Letter, RFP, and others "sharepointurl"

How do I look at this "parent" object and how can I see the contents of the field?

Secondly, I need to obtain the organization in order to determine the base of this URL (as we have more than one organization sharing a sharepoint in our non-prod servers. My logic is

1- If organization is the production organization then sharepoint URL is xxxxxxxx

2-If organization is mycrmdev then sharepoint URL is xxxxxxxx

3-If organization is mycrmsbx then sharepoint URL is xxxxxxxx

4-etc....

How do it find the organization?

Again sorry for the basic questions but this is the first time out and I'm brand new and need guidance from those with experience.
