I work in a small team, this guy had recently joined, like a month ago and I love to teach/mentor and my manager sees me enjoying and good at it, the colleague is of my age but he smirks a lot e.g. If I want to confirm something that he ask, he smirks in a taunting way.
I try to ignore it but today we ran into a problem where I had to make quick changes to code to fix a broken image, while I was during the fix quick (for not getting CEO's attention of broken image), my colleague constantly smirked in a taunting way. Which distracted me because after my manager I see things and know in and out
While I was doing the fix, he was constantly smirking and asked me what went wrong, when I told him, he smirked again like a way to say "how foolish of u". Later when I was leaving, he smirked in a way which really really offended me and felt like "ur gonna get fired looser".
In the evening I was so upset that I had an accident today when I bashed my car into another car.
I can tell my manager in 121 but it will like whining. so I want to address it myself but do not know how? I help him countless time for his naive mistake and don't smirk but he is like a silent bully with a smirk.
I have noticed his constant chatting and smirking has affected my work pace.

Are you reading way to much into it perhaps? It might be worth looking at ways to deal with your anxiety. People will make facial expressions, it's natural. It doesn't mean that there's malicious intent.

Perhaps he means nothing by it? Some people just have a smarmy way about them.

@ChrisFNZ he does have a careless attitude because it is not just about facial expression, he about sound. our workplace doesn't bare wrong attitude. I am afraid his making such bully sound might have me agitated which can make my behaviour change and can affect my job. I can move seats as we have the freedom to move anywhere in office but if my manager ask why I am seated somewhere perm outside team I need a strong valid reason. I can do my 200x faster when he isn't next to me.

Without wanting to be too harsh here, you seem to have a problem with an unspecified employee on your floor, a sales agent and your coworker. There comes at point at which it's not the other people's fault any more.
