In N. J. is it the probate courts responsibilty to show documentation of the estate if the Executor has not shown the heirs any?

NJ probate is unsupervised so the court does not on its own motion do anything. If a party feels they are being mistreated or that the administration is not proceeding as required it is on that party to file a complaint and commence a suit in Superior Court. One thing you can do is request a copy of the administration petition and bond to see how much is passing through the intestate proceeding in order to judge how far you want to take things. Since you and your siblings are beneficiaries it is unlikely the bond will be released without either a hearing on the matter or your signing off on a final accounting.
