If things continue to escalate with Iran could America put pressure on the other NATO members to support them in some way? If so could that support then be used as leverage for the US to improve their support in Ukraine?

Not that this would justify what the US is doing, just trying to find a silver lining...

No, Trump is terrified of Putin, it's more likely that Europe abandons Ukraine to go help America destroy the Middle-East some more than America actually helping Ukraine. Thankfully Article 5 of NATO only applies if a countries territory is attacked, so American bases being bombed if it comes to that won't count for Article 5. Not that Europe needs an excuse like that to go rushing to America's aid though despite America making it very clear they don't give a fuck about us.
