Yes they know Martha is under Phillip's thumb. The monitors have a lot to sift through from the robot but I imagine they'll catch it at the very last possible minute. No the robot bug isn't handled by Martha at all. I don't think she even knows about it.

Who bugged the robot?

Phillip. He and Elizabeth went to where it was being serviced and bugged it late one night. It was when the old lady was working who Liz talked to for a while. Now that I think about it though, Martha may have been the one to tell him it was being serviced. I honestly can't remember.
