Highly unlikely, seen a large mound of wood chip smoulder in the
middle, that turned to ash, but no flames, but your small amount will
not generate enough heat

I've definitely had charring in the middle of an acre of grass cuttings
back in the day when I collected rather than mulched them

A third of an acre is enough if the conditions are just right.

I'm pretty sure a green bin can't go critical though. The VH one I did
last week there is now an inch gap around the block of fermenting block
of lawn clippings. I've never really bothered to look every day before.
