On a practical level, Obi-Wan did not know that Anakin had survived simply because he was isolated on Tatooine. Although Obi-Wan did not see Anakin die after their battle on Mustafar in Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, he reasonably could have assumed that Anakin would die from his injuries. Since then, Obi-Wan had been living in exile on Tatooine. As a desert planet in the Outer Rim, Tatooine probably received little news from the rest of the Empire, so its inhabitants might not have known any concrete information about Darth Vader. Even if some people on Tatooine did know about Vader, they probably would not have discussed this with Obi-Wan, considering Obi-Wan lived alone and avoided interactions.
However, even if Obi-Wan was unable to receive news on Tatooine, it seems like he still could have sensed Anakin through the Force. While it was across much smaller distances, Star Wars has already set the precedent for using the Force to sense others. For example, Darth Vader found Obi-Wan on the Death Star in Star Wars: A New Hope, and Vader and Luke sensed each other while orbiting Endor in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. In contrast, Star Wars: The Last Jedi explained that no one was able to find Luke when he went into hiding because he had cut himself off from the Force. To protect both himself and Luke, Obi-Wan may have done the same. This is supported by Obi-Wan not using the Force at all during Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 1 and struggling to save Leia when she fell off a roof. Without a connection to the Force or news from the rest of the Empire on Tatooine, Obi-Wan easily could have not heard that Anakin was alive until the events of Obi-Wan Kenobi.
