In a trailer for Avenger: Infinity War Thanos is shown using the Infinity Gauntlet, so he definitely won't be sharing them. Considering the Asgardians have the Tesseract and didn't want to keep it and the Aether close together, I think they don't know that the Stones and Gauntlet are connected. The Vault is used to contain dangerous artifacts, that does not mean Odin or anyone else knows exactly what they are for or do.
