I don't believe Derek was aware of the abilities of his mother and sister insofar as what "level" of power they had (like if they healed extra fast or strength, etc), with the exception that he obviously knew or believed his mother was powerful in her own rite.

Since Peter was charged with teaching him then I doubt Derek was aware or privy to the ways and/or what his mother taught his sister, which could also be a reason why Laura could fully shift into a wolf, Talia's methods were probably way different than Peter's.

As for the self confidence...yeah I'm sure he had a lot of it. It just seemed as though he "knew" exactly what to do to stop the threat....beyond just battling it conventionally. He didn't hesitate one bit, just went straight in, grabbed its head and split it open. I think he didn't worry about their attack since he's dodged them even before the "evolution" phase. He didn't worry about being attacked while crushing its skull simply because he knew it would end up dead while he took a small chance that he would be hurt.

Maybe I'm wrong about all of it but that's how I read it as I watched. Either way, I look forward to S5 and hope Derek is in it more than briefly. I wouldn't say definitely. As his whole situation(him going from grown Derek to teenage Derek) at that time was weird. But personally (& this is just me speculating) I think his body was going through an adrenaline rush so he could get back warm as I believe Lydia commented that he was warmer than he was before. Plus, he woke up with his claws out and was really scared.
