When I use the API to get the Discourse user object, it works fine, but I don’t see the external_id included in there. If I have a Discourse user ID or username, how can I get the external_id from that?

By design the admin endpoint will return more data than the non-admin endpoint. Yes, they are both fetching “user” records, but it would be super bad if the /user/... endpoint that regular users can call returned the same thing as /admin/user/....
