Is there a database or standard (ISO etc.) which maps Unicode or ISO-15924 scripts with the ISO-639/Glottolog etc. languages that use them, so that I can make queries like the following on it: For an ISO-639/Glottolog etc. language, what are the ISO-15924 scripts or Unicode scripts it uses? For an ISO-15924 or Unicode script, which an ISO-639/Glottolog etc. languages use it?

It will also be nice, for a script, to be able to see a cross-comparison of character occurrences, and how their meanings differ, across languages.

https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/main/common/supplemental/supplementalData.xml includes a map from two-letter or three-letter language to four-letter script, under element languageData.

<languageData>
  <language type="aa" scripts="Latn"/>
  <language type="ab" scripts="Cyrl"/>
  <language type="abq" scripts="Cyrl"/>

See documentation https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-info.html#Supplemental_Language_Data
