Why did the clones not turn on Anakin?
Because the clones were programmed to obey the Sith, and they could not harm them. They would not shoot at Dooku on Geonosis, and they were assigned to Lord Vader to eradicate the Temple. Vader was now designated as a Sith.
Did any clones know Anakin was Vader?
As Carlos has said, they were with Anakin during the Jedi purge on Coruscant, so yes, they would know.
How was Anakin not killed in Order 66?
If Anakin had not turned, and order 66 was executed anyway, having all the Jedi killed would have made it easier to convert Anakin to the dark side. Presumably Palpatine planned to have Anakin join him at that point and so told the clones not to kill him when he gave out Order 66.

Since Anakin had previously commanded the 501st in the Clone Wars, it made sense that he would lead them in the attack.
