As far as I know, the > (#test>div) means that the div is required to be a direct child of #test.

Where a space (#test div) means that it can be a descendant/ancestor relationship. So #test p div would be affected by simply a reference to #test div

What browsers support the first one mentioned?

You can find information for all selectors at http://www.quirksmode.org/css/contents.html For your questions the supported browsers are the following:

IE 7, IE8, IE9 pr3, FF 3.0, FF 3.5, FF 3.6, FF 4b1, Saf 4.0 Win, Saf 5.0 Win, Chrome 4, Chrome 5, Opera 10.10, Opera 10.53 and Opera 10.60

Edit: Since it's 2015 I would suggest to have as reference for such questions the can I use? website. For example you can find more info for child selector.

FF2+, IE7+, Opera/Safari/Chrome ( any modern version of the latter ) should support the child selector.

It works great on IE7 (at least) unless you use #div > *, as I've just found out.
