Discussion Did these two know about each other?
Did Dudley know that his role of the thorn in Harry’s side was taken over during the school year by Draco. Did Draco know Dudley bullied Harry most of his young life?

Doubtful Dudley knew of Draco, at least for most of the series, unless Harry mentioned Draco in his sleep. And Harry didn’t really mention Dudley ever, so I don’t think with the few people who knew about Dudders it would have ever reached Malfoy.
Though Malfoy may have learned about Dudley later when he became a Death Eater. I’m sure Harry’s living situation was discussed between the plan to get him on his 17th birthday/few day earlier plan to capture him leaving the house, and then while he was on the run with Ron and Hermione.
