Nope, he doesn't know. My guess for not telling him was that since he was expendable, and not really trusted by Sidious, there was no need to, as long as Palpatine wasn't harmed.
Why would Palpatine tell Grievous, of all people his true identity? Grievous may use that as a Trump Card later on, to spare his life from the Jedi, and make them focus instead on their beloved Chancellor.

Palpatine was just using grievous to his advantage and din't really care if grievous died just as long as he had fulfilled what palpatine wanted him to do......it was the same with dooku, but dooku knew that palpatine was sidious but he was still used by palpatine.

supposedly that scene where GG was talking to Sidious via hologram, was extended and GG was asking why he couldnt just kill Palps when he had the chance, but it wasnt included in the deleted scenes so who knows?
General Grievous was a pawn for the chancellor. With Dooku dead Grievous had to run the war thus keeping it going long enough for the Emperor to turn the Republic into the Empire.
Sidious would have been able to stop GG from killing him if dooku couldnt persuade him not to. (if this was supposed to be in the deleted scenes) One blast of force lightning, boom. GG was pretty much a robot

Yeah, Grievous definetly didn't know. Here's a quote from the book.
"Grievous saw the chancellor hiding under the control panels. Grievous wanted to kill the little coward, but Dooku had told him not to"
Besides, Sidious thought Grievous as a fool, as did Dooku. Basically, he had no idea of anything that was going on, he just wanted to please Dooku.
