How to find current transaction level?
Run this:
SELECT CASE transaction_isolation_level
WHEN 0 THEN 'Unspecified'
WHEN 1 THEN 'ReadUncommitted'
WHEN 2 THEN 'ReadCommitted'
WHEN 3 THEN 'Repeatable'
WHEN 4 THEN 'Serializable'
WHEN 5 THEN 'Snapshot' END AS TRANSACTION_ISOLATION_LEVEL
FROM sys.dm_exec_sessions
where session_id = @@SPID
docs.microsoft.com reference for the constant values.
just run DBCC useroptions
and you'll get something like this:

ELSE NULL
END AS TRANSACTION_ISOLATION_LEVEL
FROM sys.dm_exec_sessions AS s
CROSS JOIN sys.databases AS d
WHERE session_id = @@SPID
AND d.database_id = DB_ID();
