Both of your questions were addressed in the "Horcruxes" chapter, at 
least in part. There, DD says that Lucius didn't know that the diary 
was a H-x. "Had Lucius known he held a portion of his master's soul in 
his hands, he would undoubtedly have treated it with more reverence" 
(p.508 US hardback).

On the same page DD mentions that LV found out that the diary was 
destroyed and "his anger was terrible to behold".

As for other DEs, it's possible that Bellatrix knew about at least one 
H-x (the locket), remember her comment about LV trusting her "with his 
most precious"? I don't know about the rest of the DEs :-).

Hope this helped,
