Does Darth Vader ever encounter R2-D2?

Darth just misses R2D2 on the Tantive IV. They're both on the Death Star at the same time but it's reasonably clear that they didn't meet, even for a polite lunch. They're around 50 yards from each other during the trench run.

Does C-3PO know Anakin is Vader?

I believe that Darth Vader knew about C3PO but didn't want to say anything because it's in the past for him and he simply doesn't want to think about that. C3P0 didn't know about Vader being Anakin (and R2D2) because their memories were deleted sooner or later after the Jedi Purge, getting new masters and jobs.

Because Anakin never wiped his memories, and Bail Organa didn't wipe it at the end of Revenge of the Sith, R2-D2 is the only character who remembers everything from the first six movies. He was also there for every major moment. While it might seem like a coincidence, it's not.

Obi Wan and R2 interact frequently in the prequels - given the timeline, it seems odd that Obi Wan would have absolutely no recollection of R2. Unlike the droids (i.e., C-3PO and R2-D2) Obi Wan's memory wasn't wiped.

Why couldnt Vader sense Leia?

Leia was not using the Force or was currently Force-sensitive during her confrontation with Vader. She began training as a Jedi years later. All these reasons prove my point: Vader didn't know Leia was his daughter, and felt no presence of the Force in her, as she was not currently strong with the Force.
