Will the whole public learn of the turtles?

The humans in the 87 show were largely sheep. They were generally aware of were okay with the Turtles, but then whenever someone...namely the plot says the Turtles are a threat to the city. The humans would say "Yeah, that's right. Let's get 'em."

In later TV versions of this series the Turtles mostly remain in the shadows and try to avoid being seen when possible. 2k3 series had some exceptions such as that Homeless community that Donatello befriended. Though there are those two guys who comment about the turtles being guys in costumes. And of course the other people they help such as the justice force.

The 2k12 turtles also adhere to the "avoid being seen" mindset, but being teenagers they can be careless and some of the battles they face they can't completely avoid being seen by human eyes.

showing themselves to small, select groups is different in my opinion cause those people help keep their secret
when there is a extremely important matter at hand (invasions/city under attack), if people are getting hurt or taken cause of the situation at hand, they kinda have to step out of the shadows briefly in order to protect said people before going back into the shadows

That is true.
Though in the 87 series, the Turtles at times got in trouble when they were caught by the media leaving the scene of crime they didn't actually commit.

So with Joan Grody and her "Grody to the Max" show. She could catch the Turtles leaving a situation and say they were behind it.

Since Muckman brushed them off as a bunch of kids in costumes. Maybe one of the turtles is apprehended by the police and when they try to pull off the Turtles faces thinking it to be a mask, and then finds it's not a mask. It's a real face.

Either that or Grody catches footage of one of the Turtles tucking into their shells and realizes no one in costume would physically be able to do that.

To the question being asked, I don't know really. It's weird that the people of New York city don't seem to realise that stuff is happening in the city, one moment you see a giant turtle mech with four turtles walking around and no one seems to see it. It's as if the city's deserted.

Well, the first time the mech as pulled out, the Kraang had emptied most of the city. The second time, it's possible that any observers didn't get a good look at the drivers. Also bear in mind by this time, there had been two alien invasions that were remembered. People are aware that there is crazy stuff out there, so a kaiju fighting a giant robot would just be more of that.
