We have RHEL6 installed on our server. I can see in the /etc/redhat-release that we have RHEL 6.9 installed.
What I cannot figure out is:
How do I find out what Patch Level is installed on our RHEL OS?

From what I know, Red Hat Enterprise Linux does not have a patch level concept.
The closest thing to a patch level is an update/release. You can get it with:cat /etc/redhat-release.
As found out by @sgrover, a more detailed output can also be found with the following command:rpm -qf /etc/redhat-release

After a lot of searching, and trying - I found the following answer:rpm -qf /etc/redhat-release redhat-release-server-6Server-6.9.0.4.el6.x86_64- So here, 6.9.0.4 is the thing I was looking for.

To obtain release and update levels, you can use lsb_release. This is the "Linux Standard Base" command and is quite useful in scripts. You may need to install it:
yum install redhat-lsb
