I suggest a simple way to testing if a variable is an DOM element

function isDomEntity(entity) {
  if(typeof entity  === 'object' && entity.nodeType !== undefined){
     return true;
  }
  else{
     return false;
  }
}

or as HTMLGuy suggested:

const isDomEntity = entity => {
  return typeof entity   === 'object' && entity.nodeType !== undefined
}
