My understanding is that NT had quite a bit of OS/2 in it.
It doesn't. They are completely different architecturally. NT was a 32-bit, multiuser, heavily multithreaded, built-for-SMP, portable, mostly-microkernel OS.
OS/2 was... Not.
Seeing that MS had rights to OS/2 and wanted a new OS in a hurry following the breakdown of their partnership with IBM, it would be suprising if they had not used parts of OS/2.
In a hurry ? It was five years between the start of NT's development ('88) and its first release ('93).
