Dooku is his traditional name. His Sith name is Darth Tyranus.

Answer: The Jedi didn't know about the Order for the same reason they could not discover, detect, sense, etc. that Palpatine was the Sith lord. Even though throughout the series, Jedi seem rather adept at 'feeling' the Force in anybody they happen to encounter, Lucas had to neuter their powers so that the Jedi council could actually be co-opted by a poorly crafted story and Hayden Christensen.

The case with Palpatine was the first Sith any of them had ever encountered (apart from Obi-wan killing Darth Maul and those who dealt directly with Dooku before Anakin killed him). Dark Jedi don't count.
It is entirely possible that they may be unable to sense one's force adeptness if they're full-on Sith, or maybe Palpatine's higher level or special learnings allowed him to shield himself. I would say that being able to hide one's self would be a skill in high demand for a a Dark Side follower.
And yeah, it's pretty obvious they realize something shady is going on, they just don't know what until it's too late. They're even openly suspicious of Palpatine but fail to consider the idea of him being a Sith Lord.
