I think that only the "gods" and the Knights in Anor Londo and the primordial serpents were aware of Gwyn fate.

Anyway the developers messed up the story too much. If we take Kathee and Frampt out of the way, the only hint of what we have to do comes from Gwynevere. So then, why would the Chosen Undead go and kill all of the 4 creatures to fill the Lordvessel without even knowing how to do that in the first place?

So with that in mind, how the hell does Solaire know how to proceed? How does he know how to get to the Klin?

Simple:

1) Who cares he's just an NPC at that point

2)Plot magic. We ar emissing something, we can only speculate: he's following you, he talked with the seprents and so on...

How he gets there is unexplained, therefore I wouldn't think about his encounter with Gwyn to be very important without a sense to it in the first place other than "OMG the final boss is too hard let's give the player a NPC".
