Answer

President George Washington was more familiar with the Constitution than most people today are. So to answer your question: No, he was very familiar with the Constitution.

Answer

Not at all. George Washington presided over the Philadelphia Convention while the Constitution was being written, so he was familiar with each Article, and every expressed opinion about how the Constitution should be crafted.

Washington also became the first elected President under the new Constitution, assuming office on April 30, 1789.
