I am using SQL Server 2008 r2. I want to find a way to verify if SQL Server Agent is running. I am suspicious that the Agent isn't running, but I don't know how to check.

View --> Registered Servers --> Local Server Groups

This should list all local servers. If there is a Red X by the server, it's stopped. Or you can right click on it and go to Service Control. From there you can Start/Stop Restart, etc.
