No, he did not realize it was Barzini. He tells Tom "Idid not know UNTIL THIS DAY that it was Barzini all along." By "all along" I think he is saying it was Barzini who was really the power behind Sollozzo, and that Tattaglia was merely a front.
If you watch the meeting of all the Dons, you will see Tattaglia keep looking to Barzini to take the lead...and you see Barzini literally take over the meeting.


That I understand, what I'm asking is if Vito knew the truth from the beginning about Barzini, would he have acted differently to refusing the deal with Sollozzo?


Vito's mind was made up about the drug business, not for moral reasons, but for practical ones.

It wouldn't have made a difference who his "would be" partners in drugs would have been. He wouldn't have made the deal with any of them.
