When in doubt, ask. If she was flirting, you've just given her the green light to continue. If she wasn't, you've given her an opportunity to clarify. Either way, it's all good.

The best way to ask without it getting creepy is just to be very honest, and perhaps a bit self-effacing about it. Maybe even play shy. Even if it turns out that she wasn't flirting, very few women are going to be offended by a guy who honestly expresses that he wasn't sure how to take the fact that she touched him and wanted to make sure that he didn't misinterpret things, especially if he does it in a very low-key way.

I think direct, prolonged eye contact with a smile is pretty obvious. People will usually look at others out of mild interest, just because they catch their eye. Hey, that woman has funny teeth. Oh, I like that guy's shirt. Whatever. But when those people look back, either accidentally or because they notice someone watching, our typical reaction is to look away. If a woman keeps looking at you, she may be interested in what she sees--or you may have spinach in your teeth, so pay attention to what her face is doing. If she smiles at you, your odds go up.

A nice, long smile while looking into your eyes? That is unusual. That is typically a come-on, unless I am woefully out of date as a woman. I am careful not to make too much eye contact with men because it feels like I am inviting them.

Don't feel bad. I don't pick up on signs all the time, either. Maybe that's why I've adopted a philosophy of at least trying to be very direct, and also of asking direct questions (in a gentle way). I figure that at the very least, it should help cut through some of the static, maybe boost the signal-to-noise ratio ever so slightly...
