Is it possible to check if FinalBuilder is running a script with code?
I would like to make a small application that can remotely start building a project on a remote machine, but only if its not running a script already.

I can second Lars' recommendation of FinalBuilder Server. It allows you to launch and view the build progress through your webbrowser, and a single-user license is included with FinalBuilder Pro licenses, so you may already be covered.
I couldn't find any information on "Is running" in general, but if you're only interested in a single build script you could have the script create a "lock" file at the start and delete it at the end. The launcher app would just check if that file exists.

For some reason, I was not aware of FinalBuilder Server. We will soon upgrade to FinalBuilder 6, a site license on FinalBuilder 6 Pro is already paid for. As far as I can see, a FinalBuilder Server license is included in FinalBuilder Pro, so we should have all we need, then. Thanks!

You could always modify your final builder projects to write to an ini (or text file) when it starts, and delete the file when it completes. I would suggest the name of the project. That way if the file exists, then its busy compiling, and you can test to see what its compiling.
