At work we have a program that actively reads/writes into LMDB file. This program uses MDB_NOLOCK (why, I'm not sure yet).

Can I safely read/write to this LMDB file using my own programs or mdb_ command line tools?

No.

I worry that those (which by default use lock files) could conflict with the manual locking of the existing program and cause data corruptions.

You would have to use exactly the same locking code as the other program uses. And the mdb_ command line tools don't support any other locking methods.
