Thanos says to Iron Man,
You are not the only one cursed with knowledge
Does this imply that Thanos is very knowledgeable as well like Iron Man?
I didn't quite get those words of Thanos.

Yes. Thanos has wandered across the galaxy for centuries. So, it is possible that he has acquired knowledge in many areas including how to rule the galaxy (by using the Infinity Stones).
What does Thanos mean when he says this to Iron Man?
Knowledge can be a burden after a limit. If you have knowledge of too much (or everything), you know the truth about many things and that can be depressing. So, knowledge can be a curse which is shared by both Thanos and Iron Man.
Iron Man got to know the fate of world during Age of Ultron (after which he created Ultron) and Thanos is just fulfilling it. So, it is also possible that both had the knowledge about the fate of the galaxy and loss of dear ones it will cause. This could be a depressing truth. Therefore, Thanos said that knowledge is a curse shared by both of them.
Thanos: Stark.
Stark: You know me?
Thanos: I do. You're not the only one cursed with knowledge.
I took that two ways:
Since nobody provided the real answer, he knows because he has just acquired the Soul Stone.
One of the Soul Stone's powers in the comic is it reveals information about a person you can see, called the "Light of Truth." This is likely a hint to one of the stone's powers, since we see it do very little on-screen.
Thanos knows who Stark is because he can literally see into his soul now.
