Yes, they know about transference and that we all have it. They probably take entire courses in this topic in school (Transference 101 ).

What about their own transference issues? If they are having them, will they ever be disclosed?

My T is very transparent, so has shared with me a couple of times when he is having counter-transference, especially when he is having a bit of a struggle with it. (When he is reacting to me not based necessarily on what I have said or done but on some incident or intereaction with another person from his life.) I think it helps him to "name" it and make it overt. I like it too, because it gives me greater insight into his reactions and helps us have greater understanding between us.
