With no locker it's more likely that one tire spins and the other one doesn't do anything, but it is possible for both to spin without a locker. With a locker you're almost assured that they would both spin.

AND the BIGGER problem. to night i was riding a round and my finger slipped off the shifter into the push button 4x4 HIGH. {...}

It sounds like you were merely in 4x4, not like anything special was happening.

whos to say the guy before didnt put a locker in

Post a photo. Maybe it's visually distinguishable from the open diff (I don't know).

my inside tire and only inside tire slips a lot on corners

What's the outside tire doing when the inside tire slips?

AND the BIGGER problem. to night i was riding a round and my finger slipped off the shifter into the push button 4x4 HIGH. went to take a corner and there was a ton of binding(harder to turn the wheel and took higher rpms to push the truck) way more than usual. The truck started to jump like the rear end kicked only every other second and the inside rear tire, from what i could tell, was squaking on the pavement everytime it kicked. This was the first time i had had it in 4WD in at least a month. a couple of friends thought it was the locker about to go but according to my codes in the glove box i have no G80. (whos to say the guy before didnt put a locker in, but as previously stated above, my inside tire and only inside tire slips a lot on corners and there seems to be no locker)

can i get some info here guys?
thanks

Quit listening to your friends. You dropped your truck into 4x4 on hard pavement through a turn. What do you expect to happen?

If you are genuinely interested in knowing what's inside that axle, post a picture like Rick said. It won't take but a few minutes to yank that cover.
