Java has javadoc which automatically generates API documents.
Does LabVIEW have an equivalent or a similar thing to this?

It does! Check out your File->Print... menu from a VI panel. You can select multiple VIs to be documented. It will create HTML or other type documentation (depending on your platform) of all the VIs you added to that dialog.
I would agree that this is sort of hidden and more correctly would belong to the Tools menu or the Help menu as some sort of VI Documentation Generator, but it's not a high frequently used tool, so I'm more than happy it exists and I never bothered to suggest a change.

The File Print function can be called programatically as well. Pass a VI reference into a Invoke node and select the Print >> VI to HTML function to generate HTML documentation for the VI.
