Why did Darth Vader not 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.

Did Owen know Anakin was Vader?

This is more of an in-universe thing. Owen and Beru definitely know that Luke is Anakin Skywalker's son, but it's not common knowledge in the Galaxy that Darth Vader is Anakin Skywalker. In fact, it's probably safer for them (and Luke) if they don't know. Then again, Obi-Wan may have told them.
