This isn't a polite form, Sheena, it's a conditional statement. We don't use 'would' in this form with 'I' unless we want to make the conditional statement I mentioned above.
A: Help me, okay?
B: Would I help you, hmmmmm, if you were to pay me I might.
To make an equivalent polite question to "Could I help you?", we use,
Would you like some help?
Would you like me to help you?
[probably some others]
