The only thing he knew was that Obi-Wan was lurking around as he "felt" his presence. He probably surmised that the only reason he was about was either to confront himself or to rescue Leia. Since he was unlikely to underestimate his old master he probably would have covered his bases by installing a tracking device just in case the old man managed to pull it off. But there are a few other problems with this part of the story. If Leia did suspect that the ship was being tracked why would she fly the ship straight to the hidden rebel base? Better to attempt some sort of diversion. Did Vader really count on this stupidity? Or perhaps it can be explained by good old Jedi foresight. Maybe Vader had some knowledge of the events.
