Is there a Bing API for finding nearby cities given a city name or lat/long combination?

I don't know if Bing provides this, but you build your own from the data available from geonames.org

They provide an API to get places near a given lat/lng: http://api.geonames.org/findNearby?lat=47.3&lng=9&username=demo

Or you can also go all out and implement a solution for your own needs using their data, as per this answer: Given the lat/long coordinates, how can we find out the city/country?
