    If it's just one, you shouldn't worry. If you do it constantly everyday then you would be penalized.

    They'll only investigate you if your account activity looks suspicous... however, you do not get credited from clicking your own links (if you don't try to hide it)

    One accidental click won't do anything, and you won't get paid for it either.

    Reporting it to Google and asking them to debit your account with that click will leave no room for you and would set you free from TOS of google Adsense
