Answer 1

In psql that would be

\dx

See the manual for details: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/app-psql.html

Doing it in plain SQL it would be a select on pg_extension:

SELECT * 
FROM pg_extension

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/catalog-pg-extension.html

Answer 2

Additionally if you want to know which extensions are available on your server: SELECT * FROM pg_available_extensions

Answer 3

This SQL query gives output similar to \dx:

SELECT e.extname AS "Name", e.extversion AS "Version", n.nspname AS "Schema", c.description AS "Description" 
FROM pg_catalog.pg_extension e 
LEFT JOIN pg_catalog.pg_namespace n ON n.oid = e.extnamespace 
LEFT JOIN pg_catalog.pg_description c ON c.objoid = e.oid AND c.classoid = 'pg_catalog.pg_extension'::pg_catalog.regclass 
ORDER BY 1;
