How do I know what images are available? Is this documented somewhere?

The only image on "pencilcode.net/image" is vpencil-20-64.png, as that is the Pencil Code thumbnail. 

If you're looking for the images that can be found using the "img" command, they are all found on the Wikimedia Commons. Check the reference page for the "img" command.

I'm interested in learning more about this as I am having trouble getting images that are definitely in wikimedia commons.
For example, this code "draws" a random playing card and tries to show an image of that card using the syntax
wear '/img/card-8-of-spades'

http://jgplay.pencilcode.net/edit/class/randomCards

Searches on wikimedia commons show lots of images of this type:
8 of spades site:commons.wikimedia.org/

Note: This does work if the draw happens to be ace of spades, hearts, or diamonds, but no other card seems to work. Also, I've tried variations of the basic syntax ('/img/playing-cards-8-of-spades' and '/img/8-of-spades') but haven't found anything that works.

Because of the way in which the Wikimedia Commons saves images, finding images using URLs isn't as simple as changing the name of the image in it. 

For example, the URLs for the 8 of spades and 9 of spades images' information pages are

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:8_of_spades.svg

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:9_of_spades.svg

But the images themselves are found under different URLs

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/40/8_of_spades.svg/209px-8_of_spades.svg.png

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/63/9_of_spades.svg/209px-9_of_spades.svg.png

Note that the URLs are also different before the file name. The 8 of spades image has "4/40/" before it, and the 9 of spades has "6/63/" before it. I have no idea what those numbers mean, but they make what you're trying to do more difficult. 

Luckily I found another source for these images on GitHub that does allow easy selection of images.

See my edit of your code.

Wow, thanks!

No problem. I'm always happy to help.
