You can use MeshDataTool to get all the faces, then loop trough them and calculate if mouse is inside the triangle. Here's a demo code: https://github.com/TassuP/GodotStuff/blob/master/TexturePainterDemo/DrawToTexture.gd

What is it you need? You can get the normal fairly easily with a ray cast. This will give you a normal and a position value. To get the actual face (the 3 vertices) I think you need MeshDataTool as @TassuP suggests, but it is rather slow for real time (it can work if you do it only on load though).
