I bought the Uncharted: the Nathan Drake Collection on Amazon. Today I finally got it and I have a feeling that is has been used. Can I check somewhere if the disc is really new? It's the special edition and I am not sure if that one comes with foil.

You can't really check if a game has already been used, because if the user handles the disc with care there will be no visible change. You could check if the disc has scratches or fingerprints on it, but there is no other way to tell.

I have the EU special edition of Uncharted 4 and it wasn't wrapped in foil, but the outer box was closed with a round bit of tape if I remember correctly. The steelbook with the game was wrapped in foil though. I don't know if it's the same for the special edition of the Nathan Drake Collection though.

If a game comes with a DLC code, you should enter the code in the Playstation store to check if it is still valid. You don't need to redeem the code to check if it's valid if you cancel after entering the code but before redeeming it.

If the disc and package show no signs of use and the DLC has not been redeemed it wouldn't make a difference if someone had used it anyway.

While Amazon is likely to process an RMA at no charge to you if you submit one, it doesn't really matter if it's used or not (so long as everything is present and, in the case of software with an unlock key/bonus key, the key is unused). If everything is present, the disc works, all warranties and return policies are the same, and nothing is damaged, all that the repacked software is going to do is serve as a guarantee it's worked at some point.

Discs are read only so the simple answer is you cant
