How do you reflect on how smart you are though? I am trying to strike a balance between not overestimating vs not underestimating myself. I find that if I do the latter, I pass on opportunities.(Like asking if I can volunteer for some task)

It just doesn't really matter. Ask questions, and get your work done. If you're getting your work done well, and quickly then ask what else you can do.
