He's wearing a stormtrooper outfit and they've never met before nor were they properly introduced - how does she know he's a pilot?

It's just one of those small oversights you have to forgive....
You have to remember the stormtrooper who hits his head on the bulkhead when a squad enters the control room, before they find 3P0 and R2 in the 'closet' area...
Even in the special edition version of 'A New Hope,' Red Leader mentions to Luke before the Battle of Yavin, that he knew his father...
Unless Red Leader was a Jedi, and/or knew the twins were hidden...or is a close friend of the Lars family....how would he know Luke is related to Darth Vader or Anakin Skywalker?

If you met Han in a stormtrooper outfit in the middle of a cell block, you'd think he was a crazy pilot too, right?

I feel it's a remark about the arrogance of Han, not about him being a pilot. As 'A New Hope' (as it is now referred to as) was rated U, even mild language was a no-no, so just substitute a mild cuss word there.
Although she may have just assumed he was a pilot, due to both his arrogance (a stereotypical trait of pilots) and the fact that Luke was the same age as her, i.e. not really old enough to be flying a modified YT-1300 Corellian Stock Light Freighter (or similar).

Congratulations, you've discovered one of the one hundred-forty-odd-plus, goofs, continuity errors, flubs, logical dings and pure-D mistakes that exist in the first Star Wars feature. Personally, I think think they give the film its "cheap adventure-serial" mystique, even though they're not in the film deliberately, but exist mostly because of the rush to complete the film and the expense of retakes--remember this was originally a one-shot gamble, not only for Lucas but for Fox--
George Lucas has often regretted the first-release version of Star Wars: Episode Four because of all the booboos, and has re-edited the subsequent releases-what?--two or three times at least, but has finally realized that it's one of the reason its fans love it so much.

Like all women she knows everything. Besides which Han didn't look like a Storm Trooper, so as a wild guess he had flown there to rescue her.

I'm going to say that she knew he was the pilot because he said that Luke was "the brains." She just used the process of elimination.

definite, yet I in many situations would desire to verify somebody head to head and seem of their eyes and get their actual feeling to truly understand them. yet yep, there might truthfully be solid emotions in spite of if I never met them. i'm a hugger and that could particularly be astounding too!

Probably from his attitude. And maybe she just knew, the Skywalkers are strong in the Force.

She doesn't - the writer (Lucas or whomever he had fleshing out his scripts) does, and screwed up.
See how simple it is when you allow for flaws instead of forcing everything to be canon?
