Question: At the swimming pool, Stu goes to the bar and starts speaking to someone he knows. Was Daniel not the least bit worried that Stu's friend would say something and blow his cover? He would've seen "Mrs Doubtfire" lob the fruit, and then "she" even spoke to Stu's friend in a man's voice saying, "What are you looking at?"
Mrs. Doubtfire (1993)

Starring: Robin Williams, Pierce Brosnan, Sally Field, Harvey Fierstein
Revealing mistake: Mrs. Doubtfire sets herself on fire. When she jumps back and starts fighting the flames, it is obviously a stunt double as her face is longer.
Suggested correction: If you look carefully, the face looks pretty much the same, as well as the voice.
The reason the voice was the same is that it was probably an audio dub, which is a voice recording over someone else's voice.
Mrs. Doubtfire: I hope you don't mind me being a tad rude, but... How was he? You know, on a scale of 1 to 10?
Miranda: Well, that part was always... Okay.
Mrs. Doubtfire: Just okay? Well, he was probably a Casanova compared to poor old Winston.
Miranda: What was the matter with Winston?
Mrs. Doubtfire: Oh dear, Winston's idea of foreplay was "Effie, brace yourself."

Answer: It doesn't appear that Stu's friend was too familiar with the Hillards personally. He first asked whose children those were (as if he was unfamiliar with the kids), and although he was familiar with the name "Miranda Hillard", he may only know her as a mere acquaintance or through his job somehow (but not on a personal level). There is no indication he knew Daniel or had met him before. Also, he just saw Mrs. Doubtfire sitting there and just figured she was a random member, so he didn't think twice about her—regardless of the lime throwing or comments. Additionally, when he mentioned the kids' real father, it doesn't mean he knew Daniel; it just indicated that the kids seemed happy, and he figured they had a traditional two-parent background, so he asked about the "father" after Stu mentioned they needed a father figure in their lives.
