Did the Humans find out about Gaius Baltar's role in the sabotage of the fleet?
In the new Battlestar Galacticia it is shown that the Cylons were able to wipe out the Colonial Fleet using backdoors in their defence software. These backdoors got in through some deal Gaius made with Caprica Six, although at the time he did not know that she was a Cylon.
We the viewers find this out early (I think it's in one of the first episodes of the miniseries) but does anyone in the Fleet ever find out? Either from Gaius letting it slip or from Caprica Six/another Cylon letting on?

No, nearly all the characters do not find out, BUT an injured, nearly dying, and drug-induced Baltar confesses to Laura Roslin while they were visiting the basestar to ask the hybrid questions about the Opera House in the season four episode, The Hub.
On the basestar, Roslin unsuccessfully attempts to communicate with the Hybrid, only gleaming the message to "protect the child." During the Battle of the Resurrection Hub, Roslin attempts to administer first aid to a severely injured Baltar, injecting him with morpha. As a result of the drugs, Baltar admits to Roslin that he unintentionally gave the Cylons the access codes to the Colonial Defense Mainframe, resulting in the attack on the Colonies. Roslin immediately stops administering aid and sits idly by while Baltar bleeds. However, another vision of Elosha convinces her that she cannot lose her humanity. Realizing this, Roslin helps stabilize Baltar and never pursues his role in the attack further. When Adama finds the missing basestar and reunites with Roslin, she tells him that she loves him
He never specifically tells her it was Caprica Six, but he does tell how he unintentionally gave the Cylons the access codes. Roslin almost lets Baltar bleed out and die as a result, until she has a vision with Elosha who reminds her the importance of her own humanity. Roslin never reveals this truth to anyone.

Baltar's whisper was revealed to be, "I know what your Eight did!") During Baltar's trial (in the episode "Crossroads"), Gaeta is put on the witness stand. He lies outright, claiming he was there when Baltar signed the death lists and Baltar offered no resistance in approving them.Was Gaius Baltar a Cylon?
But Cylons aren't human clones As Cylons aren't copies of humans, this would suggest either of two possibilities for Baltar: first, that he survives the blast and escapes, or second, that Baltar is a Cylon all along, even on Caprica. The idea of Baltar being originally a Cylon has problems, however.Did the original Battlestar Galactica find Earth?

Answer 2
No
Although Baltar is put on trial it was for "collaborating" with the Cylons on New Caprica.
His involvement in the original attack is referenced but under interrogation he is unspecific in what his actually role and culpability was.
Baltar is subjected to a hallucinogen-based interrogation by Admiral Adama about any involvement with the Cylons. Baltar admits his unwitting complicity in the original Cylon attack on the Colonies, though without any specifics.
