I'm rewatching, too.
Peter Berg is another one who comes to mind
The Scoobies don't. Once they know of her origins, they may have a general sense of the time period she showed up based on when they found the dagonsphere and when Glory showed up in their lives. So while they don't think of their lives in terms of seasons, they'd know she showed up early in season five, if that makes sense.
Personally-with no in show evidence to support the theory-I always believed that when Buffy came back from the dead that she clearly and accurately saw her memories before Dawn. I think it's part of that cellular scramble (the one that allows Spike's chip to not read her).
I honestly think her ability to see Dawn exactly as she is and what she is is some small part of her emotional deadness in that season. Despite "knowing" in season five, she couldn't feel it because the memories still felt true. True enough that she sacrificed her life for her sister. But in season six, fresh back from the grave and seeing more clearly? I don't think Buffy feels the same about Dawn. Buffy never connects to Dawn again like she did in season five when she was under a spell designed to force her to love and protect her sister.
