For all the updates and improvements made to the Tumblr app, they removed any and all abilities to share existing posts elsewhere. You can’t grab a link to a post from the app unless you’re accessing the dashboard from a browser. That sucks.
This behavior contrasts with the latest update to Vine which now lets you share other people’s Vine videos from the app to Twitter or Facebook and even grab the direct links as well as the embed codes.
