In CoS, Tom told Harry that he was using the name
Lord Voldemort among his "most intimate friends
only" while he was at Hogwarts. (CoS page 314, US
edition, paperback)
So some of the higher-up, older Deatheaters should
know that Voldemort was Tom Riddle. I also think
that at least some of them knew he was a half-blood.
Tom was in Slytherin surrounded by pure-bloods and
half-bloods who'd grown up in the WW, however Tom
had grown up around muggles. Even if Tom knew he
was a wizard before receiving his Hogwarts letter,
he would not know details about the WW. Tom's
ignorance of the WW would have stood out, so at
least some of his classmates, and thus some of his
first DEs, would have known his half-blood status.
