So the question becomes this: Is there a way (from RPG) to detect that the
internet connection is active before submitting the transaction? I know
that this wouldn't be foolproof because the internet connection could be
lost immediately after a successful 'detection attempt'. But this would at
least enable us to detect and notify users when the internet connection is
down, which would limit the number of transactions that would not receive
a response.

You could invoke a 'PING RMTSYS(hostname) MSGMODE(*QUIET *ESCAPE)' command and monitor for an escape message.
