You could set an environment variable in Mutt and then access that from
the script.

folder-hook . 'set visual=^;setenv MYCURFOLDER $visual'

However, the value of $MYCURFOLDER will contain Mutt mailbox shortcuts,
such as '='.  If you don't want that you'll have to temporarily unset
$folder:

folder-hook . 'set my_folder=$folder;set folder="XXX";set visual=^'
folder-hook . 'setenv MYCURFOLDER $visual'
folder-hook . 'set folder=$my_folder'
