I am new to DBA role, and wanted to know if there was any commands (or free software) that come with Mysql 5.5 (master/slave/slave) replication to quickly get familiar with
the database, and also making sure my.cnf is set up with the correct parameters.

The pt-mysql-summary tool from Percona toolkit gives you a very nice overview of your running server.
It will tell you stuff like what the major config params are set to, what technologies ara available in your server, take a 10 second status sample, analyze your schema etc.
Also worth to run pt-duplicate-key-checker at least once, to detect redundant keys.
I'm authoring the common_schema tool for MySQL, which also offers some diagnostics: the redundant_keys view is parallel to pt-duplicate-key-checker; the data_size_per_schema view will tell you, well, the datasize per schema; the auto_increment_columns view will tell you about "free space" in your AUTO_INCREMENT columns; and more.
Watching the processes as they go, using
innotopor the old-timermytopis also worthwhile: get to know the processes that run most, the longest etc.
