How did Don Corleone know that whoever set up this meeting was the traitor? And if he knew how would Barzini not know that the Don would know and warn Michael?

It's not that Barzini set up the meeting. After all, Vito initiated the meeting in the first place. But Vito knew that someone other than Tattaglia was backing Sollozzo.
I think that Vito went into the meeting with two goals:
1. To get the other Families to agree not to deal drugs. Vito realizes this is futile after Don Zaluchi's speech.
and
2. To find out who was behind Sollozzo/Tattaglia. When Barzini took over the meeting and aired grievances, Vito knew that he was the secret adversary.

However, Vito's primary objective was to create an environment in which Michael could return to the US in relative safety Yes, Oli, that was his primary objective. But, I think he also hoped to find out who was the prime mover. Still begs the question: why didn't he know it was Barzini before the meeting?
