   I have the ID of a page,
   I just need to grab the template situated with this page.

   What function would do this for me?

   It's a bit dated (2 years) but this reply may help you.

   I've tried
   

   global $wp_query;
   
   $template_name = get_post_meta( $wp_query->post->ID, '_wp_page_template', true );

   $template_name holds the current page template, whereas I want to use another pages' ID.

   So I've tried $post->ID (I can access this, it returns integer).
   

   $template_name = get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_wp_page_template', true );

   but $template_name returns an empty string.

   global $wpdb;
   $query = 'SELECT meta_value FROM '.$wpdb->prefix.'postmeta WHERE meta_key = '_wp_page_template' AND post_id = '.$post->ID;
   
   $template_name = $wpdb->get_var($wpdb->prepare($query));

   Give that a shot. It's off the cuff so you may have to tweak it.
