You can use the VersionControlExplorerExt object with its properties SelectedItems, CurrentFolderItem, etc. From a package it would be something like:

  private void MenuItemCallback(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
     Microsoft.VisualStudio.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.VersionControlExt versionControlExt;
     Microsoft.VisualStudio.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.VersionControlExplorerExt versionControlExplorerExt;
     EnvDTE.DTE dte;

     try
     {
        dte = base.GetService(typeof(EnvDTE.DTE)) as EnvDTE.DTE;

        versionControlExt = dte.GetObject("Microsoft.VisualStudio.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.VersionControlExt") 
           as Microsoft.VisualStudio.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.VersionControlExt;

        versionControlExplorerExt = versionControlExt.Explorer;

        MessageBox.Show(versionControlExplorerExt.CurrentFolderItem.LocalPath);

     }
     catch (Exception ex)
     {
        MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());
     }

  }
