Yes, the code was already broken right before the attack on Pearl Harbor even started.

No. From what I know, Adolf Hitler did not have anything to do with Pearl Harbor except for the fact that he is one of the causes of World War II which then caused the Japanese to attack us with a long history behind it. Did_Hitler_have_anything_to_do_with_the_attack_at_Pearl_Harbor

Did the government know about the Pearl Harbor?

The US government knew the Japanese were going to attack the US and assume that the attack would take place at Pearl Harbor. The US Navy had been practicing for the attack for 20 + years. The surprise of the attack included the time of the attack (a Sunday morning when most US sailors were on leave or hung over from drinking the night before), the Japanese new low angle torpedo (US Navy didn't know Japan had it and assumed that battleship were safe in the harbor).


Did America know the attack was imminent on pearl harbor?

There is a story the British did know by interception of Japanese signals... I cannot say if there is any truth in it. It would appear the US was completely surprised.
