Can't you just say:

  put the mode of the mouseStack

??

I tested it this way - put this script into a button:

on mouseUp
  CheckIt
end mouseUp

on CheckIt
  if the commandKey is down then exit CheckIt
  if the mouseStack <> "" then
    put the short name of the mouseStack && (the mode of the mouseStack)
  end if
  send "CheckIt" to me in 50 milliseconds
end CheckIt

Click the button, and start moving over different stacks - you should see it
change accordingly. Hold down the Command key to make it stop.
