In testing the Web UI and setting the OTP for a host, it became apparent that their is now way to retrieve an existing OTP.  Is this on purpose?  It confused me a bit that the UI did not change to indicate that an OTP existed.  I think this is a bug.

Yes, it is on purpose that you can't retrieve an existing OTP, it is a 
password after all.

There is no way to know if a password has been set or not. Please open a 
bug if you'd like to be able to tell.
