Did the general public know that Dooku was a sith?
I mean most people living within in the Independent Systems never seem to show anything that suggests they fear him. Padme was dumb enough to try to shoot him with a blaster—don't you think she'd know better if she knew he was a force sensitive? Forgive me, I'm a bit rusty on the political episodes of the clone wars, but it seems many looked up to him as a great political leader and that's it. Few other than the jedi mention anything about him being a powerful sith.
Do the people in this room know who he really is other than Ahsoka?
Maybe the jedi want to keep his past a secret to the public so Dooku can't use his past status of a jedi to persuade people that the republic/jedi council is corrupt?

I don't know why they wouldn't know he was a Sith.
The galaxy never distinguished between the ideologies of Sith and Jedi, as it was impossible to tell the difference between the two due to propaganda. The only thing swaying opinion in the Galaxy was war crimes and the like, which Dooku covered up and launched one of the most successful propaganda campaigns in galactic history.
What's interesting is how many seperatists didn't see Dooku as their leader/ruler, merely the individual coordinating their military. They were happy putting up with Ventress and Grievous, I don't see why they'd favour Dooku any less. For them, following "The Dark Side" is no different to abandoning the laws of the Republic, imho. The Galaxy would see it as nothing more than him walking away from a corrupt ideal and being branded a traitor because of it.

Everybody knew Dooku was a Jedi so Padme trying to blast him is just idiocy on her part.
As far as the Sith go, nobody in the galaxy save the Jedi and certain senators like organa knew about the Sith and even fewer knew that Palpatine was one, let alone Dooku or Vader even. Its explicitly stated in Lords of the Sith that the Emperor made sure there was nobody around to witness his abilities when he and Vader had to defend themselves.
Everyone thought Dooku was a fallen Jedi. Near the end of the clone wars t.v. series the gang called him Tyranus. Obi Wan's response was "Tyranus? You're Darth Tyranus???"
