You're not the first person to bring up the issue of wanting to know where
your CSE is being used; we'll consider this.

But regarding adsense abuse,  our fraud team is pretty thorough.  We
wouldn't automatically assign culpability to the account holder, as we know
where clicks are coming from.

By the way, if you search your context ID on Google you might find if your
CSE is hosted somewhere else.
