We know how the Sun is tilted in reference to its planets but how is it tilted to Sagittarius A or its orbit around it? Or isn't it tilted at all?

$\begingroup$ It isn't really correct to talk about the Sun's orbit around Sagittarius A*. The gravitational influence of the supermassive black hole isn't relevant in our neck of the woods. $\endgroup$– user24157Commented Feb 12, 2020 at 20:31

The wikipedia page says
Obliquity 7.25°[2] (to the ecliptic) 67.23° (to the galactic plane)
Interesting fact: the sun's layers rotate at different speeds, as well as different rates depending on latitude.
