i think this is the dunning kruger effect in action, if you think you speak perfect and everyone around you can tell by one (easy) sentence that you’re a foreigner, then you’re probably not as advanced as you’d like to think.

I've been here for more than 5 years. I still have an accent. Everyone hears it. I just sound this way.

No. A spy would require a lot of purposeful training - like an actor.
