Is there a way to differentiate between an 
unpublished
document and a 
published draft
from the sanity api?

oh actually, just realized that the draft creates a duplicate document - very clever

In the Studio interface, though, in the document list, there is no visual way to know which are draft vs published draft, is there?

Right, but if it's already published, and now is a new draft vs a non-published draft.

For anyone landing on this article from the public internet, it's probably a good idea to join the slack community. In there, you'll find more similar questions to this one, and you're more likely to end up finding the solution you're looking for.
For me, it was this query to find *unpublished drafts*:

*[_type == "yourSchemaType" && _id in path("drafts.**") && count(*[^._id == "drafts." + _id]) == 0]{_id}
