Eto might know that Kaneki was beaten (it was never confirmed), but I don't think that necessarily means that she knew him when he was younger. Eto also has those mysterious pictures from Chie that were supposed to help get Kaneki's memory back, and she didn't act personally until she confiscated them. They actually make me wonder if there's recorded evidence of Kaneki being abused.

The incident with Kaneki was a coincidence. At the time, Kanou wasn't working with the CCG or Aogiri and Kaneki was just meant as a prototype. That's why he was allowed to roam free until Aogiri caught wind. He was a haphazardly put together experiment that Kanou abandoned when he got his results and Aogiri didn't know about him until later.
