Sorry to disappoint you, but we also do just sync, not lookup by number. I just spent an evening or two on this years ago, didn't go very deeply into CardDAV protocol. I suppose you'd want to look at REPORT request with "filter" (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6352#section-10.5) and search for numbers that end with the same string as the phone number you have (remove country prefix if needed).

As for tools, I sent raw requests via Perl's LWP::UserAgent and HTTP::Request and parsed the returned *.vcf's with Text::vCard::Addressbook. Didn't find a nice CardDAV module/library back then.
