>>(2) was the Potters' location 
only a secret from Voldemort and DEs or was it secret from everyone 
except Pettigrew, and if so, what caused Sirius and Dumbledore to 
find the Potters' bodies? << 

>>On the second question (how did Dumbledore and Sirus know that the 
Potters had been killed and where they were), how about this? <<

My theory is that the Fideleus Charm becomes null and void once it is broken - or alternately, once the Secrets are dead. Ergo, when Sirius and Dumbledore suddenly remembered where the Potters were... they knew the jig was up.
