I've asked apple to clearly identify apps that are 32bit only in the VPP store so that our users know to NOT buy them. If you have apple enterprise support, I highly suggest you putting in a ticket asking for same thing. It would be great if you referenced my ticket 100331111842 to piggy back on to the cause :)
For now, I worked with jamf and they gave me a script to run pointing out which of our existing apps are 32bit only, and I put a note in the spreadsheets we share with the app purchasers to not buy anymore copies of those apps.
I bullied apple for weeks and requested VPP credits for recent 32bit app purchases because there is no note they won't work with their latest operating system. It's been months and i've been promised the credits, but I don't believe we've actually received the credits. I just emailed them again asking for the credit.
JSS 10.1.1 does a good job of pointing out apps with an "alert" symbol that are no longer in the US store and no longer available for us to push out. I'd love to see this extended for 32bit apps in some way. This feature request I entered may be of some interest to you to allow us to sort by these alerts in order to more easily clean them up.

Good stuff.
A definitive way is to view that app in the App Store from an iOS 11 iPad. If you can't find it, then it is no longer 'for sale' and probably 32 bit.
If you can find it and it is 32 bit, at the top it will say "The developer of this app needs to update it to work with iOS 11".

You can check the minimum iOS version supported to have a better feel for 64-bit support. iOS 7 made it mandatory.
Any app submitted to the app store after February 1, 2015 includes 64-bit support, as does any app updated after June 1, 2015.
If you are on iOS 10.3.x and want to see what apps on your iPad are 32-bit, go to Settings -> General -> About. Click on Applications. You will see a list of apps that are still 32-bit. These apps will not work with iOS 11 unless they are updated. See if there is an update available in the App Store (or Self Service). If there is no update, then these apps will not work with iOS 11.
If you click Settings -> General -> About -> Applications, and no list of apps shows up (i.e. it is greyed out and can’t be clicked), it means you don't have any apps installed that are 32-bit and all of your currently installed apps should work after the iOS 11 update.

I've had issues where some of these apps caused major errors in the JSS logs. After working with Jamf Support they gave me a python script, all you have to do is save your full JSS summary as a .txt file and then run the python file. It will then spit out a .csv file with all the apps that you have in your list that aren't on the App Store anymore.

# This script will parse a JSS Summary, or search the API for Mac and Mobile Device apps,

# a CSV will be made with the app information, and if using the API, VPP will get disabled.
