Why does the good citizenship worksheet use a yes/no format rather than open questions?

A yes/no judgment call for each action, rather than an open-ended question, forces a student to actually evaluate a specific behavior against the idea of good citizenship, rather than restate a general definition they've memorized, which is a more concrete and checkable form of the same civic-reasoning skill the C3 Framework targets at this level.

How is community service different from the community helper jobs covered elsewhere?

A community helper, a firefighter or police officer, is paid to do their job; the worksheet's own concept line specifically defines community service as work a person chooses to do without being paid, which is the key distinction second graders need to hold both ideas separately: some help is a paid profession, and some is a voluntary choice, and both matter to how a community runs.
