You don't need Family sharing to do that, you can find anybody's phone from the 'Find my Phone' app on your phone.

How do you do that? I can't find a way to access the other phone without the sharing stuff.

Open the 'Find my iPhone' app.
Tap sign out
Sign back in using the ID belonging to the person who owns the device you are trying to find.
