Is there an easy way to test whether your named pipe is working correctly? I want to make sure that the data I'm sending from my app is actually being sent. Is there a quick and easy way to get a list of all the named pipes?

You can view these with Process Explorer from sysinternals. Use the search option and enter the pattern "\Device\NamedPipe\". It will show you which processes have which pipes open.

Use pipelist.exe from Sysinternals.
