When you evaluate "print \"hello\"", then you're evaluating two expressions:

 print

and

 "hello"

where only the result of the last expression is returned.

Did you mean "(print \"hello\")"?

If you used "(print \"hello\")", then you'd get a #<void> result, so I
wonder whether you used different strings in your Racket and C++ tests.

To capture printed output, use something like

 (com-invoke MZCOM "eval" 
             (format "~s"
                     '(with-output-to-string
                       (lambda ()
                          (print "hello")))))

I'm not sure what you mean by "actual scope", but for a top-level
namespace, `namespace-mapped-symbols' will give you a list of defined
names, and `namespace-variable-value' will let you get the value of
each.
