firstly, the exchanger must public their address

False.

With taint analysis, you can get very strong clues which addresses are exchange addresses

Is it possible to know the wallet address belongs to which exchanger?
for example, if I have an wallet address, is it possible to know it belongs to which exchanger?
everyone can see the bitcoins value in the wallet, is that safe?

You might be able to find reddit threads which would show what addresses these exchanges have used in the past.
They also probably keep changing their addresses.

If its a cold storage then its safe(However recently there was an article about hacking attempts on cold storages).
Also, I don't think being able to see the value poses any risk as there is a rich list of bitcoins, and thats what the blockchain is for.

What do you mean by 'exchanger'?

Do you mean an exchange like BitStamp, or you mean a person?
