How did Christopher know Shakespeare you ask? He knew him through the people of the town. There is no existing record of them meeting, but it seems unlikely that they wouldn't have crossed paths at some point. At the beginning of Shakespeare's career they both were writing for the same theatre, the Rose, and would have both been in the same social circles. They were rivals through the plays they wrote and acted.
You must mean in the movie Shakespeare in Love, where Shakespeare has given the false name "Christopher Marlowe" and believes that his (Shakespeare's) enemies have killed Marlowe by mistake. This is an entirely fictional story for which there is no basis in fact.
Christopher Marlowe
The Jew of Malta was written by Christopher Marlowe, not Shakespeare, around 1589.
Galileo and Christopher Marlowe
Shakespeare did not have any bitter enemies, least of all his fellow playwrights such as Christopher Marlowe or Ben Jonson. Jonson, we know, was a friend and admirer of Shakespeare. Because Marlowe died so early in his career and before Shakespeare really got going, Marlowe didn't have much to say about Shakespeare, but Shakespeare admired Marlowe and included homages to him in his own plays. Playwrights of that time often worked together on plays, and we know that Shakespeare collaborated with John Fletcher late in his career, and many believe he also collaborated with George Poole on some of his early plays. The closest we hear from any of his contemporaries about anyone disliking Shakespeare in any way was Greene in his 1592 pamphlet Groatsworth of Wit, who talked about Shakespeare in rather unflattering terms (calling him an "upstart crow" for example) because Shakespeare did not have a university education like most of the playwrights of that time.

Perhaps you mean Christopher Marlowe.
Galileo and Christopher Marlowe
He wasn't; he died of natural causes. Maybe you are thinking of Christopher Marlowe.
No. Christopher Marlowe did, although Shakespeare used it three times in his early plays and poems. Marlowe was very fond of this word and used it 17 times.
