Miriam watched him from the river
Yocheved nursed him until he was weaned
He went out when he was older to see the suffering of his people
Did he know the whole time? I can’t imagine Paroah would have just let Moshe sit on his lap and play, had he known who he really was.

I don't know when Moshe discovered his real lineage, but there's a story about Paraoh and Moshe as baby. Paraoh offered baby Moshe a golden coin and a hot coal, and basically figured that if Moshe was the child in the prophecy, he'd be "smart enough" to avoid the hot coals. If he grabbed the gold coin, he'd kill the baby. So baby Moshe reached out and was about to grab the golden coin when a malach was sent to protect him, pushed his hand toward the coals instead, and it's said that a piece of that coal landed inside of Moshe's mouth which caused his speech impairment. However, because of this, he was able to live and grow up to take the Jewish people out of Egypt.

Yes, Pharaoh knew that Moshe was a Jewish baby but he was charmed by him so enjoyed playing with him as a child. Moshe grew up knowing that he was a Jew and when he later went out to see the Jews in slavery (he was about 13) he acted as a liason for them since he was both a Jew and a member of the palace. Meam Loez (Torah Anthology) explains this period of Moshes life in depth and it's fascinating

Yes, this is what I was referring to when I said I can’t imagine paroah would allow Moshe to sit on his lap if he knew who he really was. Why would he be allowing Moshe to sit on his lap and playing, if he was one of the very people that paroah was trying to kill?

I imagine it's in this volume
Torah Anthology Vol. 4 : Exodus (Israel in Egypt)
https://mysefer.com/Torah-Anth......aspx
(volume 5 is titled Redemption)
The entire series seems to be more readily available for purchase than individual specific volumes...

Meam Loez is amazing! I read the seforim in high school with Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan's translation.
