How does Mike know that the monster craves blood?
In “The Upside Down”, the final episode of the first season of Stranger Things, the monster attacks our heroes and a group of ill-intentioned adults as they stand in a hallway at Hawkins Middle School. The attack is presaged by an electrical interruption — the lights flicker. Seeing this, Mike looks to the bodies on the floor of a group of people recently killed by his friend, Eleven, and says “blood!” He understands that the monster is coming, drawn by the blood seeping from the corpses.
We know that other characters in the show (Nancy and Jonathan) have come to the same conclusion — that the monster seeks blood — but they had more evidence and made an analogy to sharks. How did Mike know about this trait of the monster? Did they share their conclusion with him? Had he previously figured it out on his own? Was he figuring it out only now? And if so, on the basis of what evidence?

Well, he figured it out on his own. They're a bunch of a smart guys as we've seen through out the series.
When the demogorgon appears in the school, that is the time we hear Mike saying "Blood!". So, he never knew that the blood attracts the demogorgon, but he reached that conclusion in seconds.
There was blood already on the floor caused by the death of those workers at the lab and the demogorgon appears a few minutes after that. What else would make it reach in the school? Of course, blood.
How did Mike know about this trait of the monster?
They played Dungeons and Dragons game in the first episode of the first season, where Mike says,
Mike: Something is coming. Something hungry for blood.
A shadow grows on the wall behind you, swallowing you in the darkness.
It is almost here.
And later,
That came from something else.
The Demogorgan!
Since they played this game and there was nothing else that could attract the demogorgon, it didn't take time to reach that conclusion.
Did they share their conclusion with him?
As the show script suggests, they didn't. Only Jonathan and Nancy knew about the blood thing and didn't share it with anybody.
Had he previously figured it out on his own?
No, he didn't because he never faced demogorgon until the finale episode.
Was he figuring it out only now?
Yes, he was.
And if so, on the basis of what evidence?
As I mentioned before, there was this only conclusion of demgorgon appearing in the school all of a sudden.

Demogorgon is a deity or demon associated with the underworld. Although often ascribed to Greek mythology, the name probably arises from an unknown copyist's misreading of a commentary by a fourth-century scholar, Lactantius Placidus.
