If I know a player to be an expert, I will treat their race with greater respect (which may mean targetting them for early alliance OR early elimination, depending on exact game situation.)
Conversely, if I know a player to still be learning, this will also effect how I behave to them. In some situations I might plan for a quick conquest, in others I might offer them advice and free/cheap assistance as an easy way to form a highly positive relationship that will benefit me later in the game, without having to limit my options with binding treaties.

About the same here. When I meet a known highly skilled player I'd be more inclined to start alliance negotations sooner, and build up a stronger relation.
And also OTOH when I met an almost complete newbie in a previous game I allied with him instead of killing him. Wiping him out would not have been much fun for him and since our habs allowed intersettling very well there was no real *need* to kill him. We shared PWs and I helped him play his turns, sending .x files back and forth, showing him how to play, how to use boosters ...
