From the Getting Started Documentation, you can use:

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.name("elementName"));

Where elementName is the name of the element that you are looking for.

Use Ctrl+Shift+I in chrome browser, and try to find that element in the developer's console using Ctrl+F. (You will have to click developer console's screen first before you do Ctrl+F)

U can check the presence of element by using explicit wait

wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOf(element))

it will return true or false, boolean value can be used.
