How did Korath know that Quill had taken the Infinity stone?
In this scene from Guardians of the Galaxy:
How does Korath show up exactly when Quill is about to take the Infinity stone? How does he know Quill is there?
Space is an extremely large place and the planet appears to be completely abandoned along with the Infinity Stone.
More importantly, how does Korath even know about the Infinity stone? If he does know about it and he also knows it is laying there why hasn't he used it's power?

How does he know Quill is there?
He doesn't. That's why he starts barking questions about who are you/how did you know about this place.
More importantly, how does Korath even know about the Infinity stone?
He doesn't know about the Stone inside, just that he is supposed to retrieve it.
If he does know about it and he also knows it is laying there why hasn't he used it's power?
The entire reason that Korath, Star Lord, and Yondu know about it is because it's a well known powerful artifact. The Collector tells Gamora in the "Guardians of the Galaxy Prequel Infinite Comic" (set between Thor Dark World and GOTG) where it is located. Gamora is only looking for the Orb because Ronan is (and she doesn't want him to have it), and Ronan is because he's following Thanos' order. (I still not sure who the broker was collecting it for).
The planet the Orb is on, Morag, is normally covered in a deep ocean, but every 300 years the water retreats enough that the Temple is accessible.
Korath and Star Lord only meet by chance, as this is the first time anyone could reach the Orb in 300 years.

How did Peter Quill know about the Infinity Stone?
In Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) Peter Quill lands on Morag with some device that let's him (I'm guessing here...) see the past as a hologram. He uses it to find the entry to a building, and finds the Power Stone encased in a metallic orb.How did Quill survive the Infinity Stone?
Quill was acting as a buffer, taking the brunt of the force of the stone for himself, but able to handle it because of his nature. The rest of the Guardians were acting as a kind of "focus": by supporting him as a team, it allowed Peter to channel the energy of the stone directly without overwhelming him.Can the Quill hold the Infinity Stone?
The ending of the movie, where it is revealed that Peter Quill is only half-human, implies that his unknown alien heritage explains why he was able to hold the infinity stone for so long without dying.Who was Quill getting the Orb for?
Quill entrusted the Orb to the Nova Corps on Xandar, who stored it in a high-security vault in the city. In return the Nova Corps pardoned Quill, Gamora, Rocket Raccoon and Drax the Destroyer, and rebuilt Quill's spaceship for him.Guardians of the Galaxy: Meaning Explained (Power Stone)
