Equivalents exist for these in the Asterisk Manager Interfaces as 
actions. An example being DBGet[1] but others also exist. They require 
no channel to operate on.

 From the scope of ARI though you can use the /asterisk/variable 
resource to GET and POST global variables and dialplan functions[2]. 
This also requires no channel to operate on. I haven't personally tried 
it for this use case though.
