if yes then just before this line it is krishna who tells him who he is and that he deserves to be a king that is why karna then says that he knows all that krishna is telling him is right as per scriptures he is pandu's son at least that is how i read it
Yes, it means Karna trusts Krishna's words to be genuine or that he doesn't doubt Krishna and his intentions. That doesn't, however, mean that he knew all of what Krishna said beforehand.
