Neither seems possible in a normal conversation. I would expect "Do you understand this?" Please supply more of the conversation.

Hi;
It's understood by you. (passive voice). Uncommon.
You understand it. (active voice). (Common, colloquial)
When we use the passive voice, it is almost always without an agent. It means "common knowledge":
It is understood that disobeying the emperor has negative consequences.
