Why did the Germans think they would win the war at the beginning of 1918?

Because Russia was out of it, the French were becoming demoralised, and the Americans were not yet fully deployed.
In fact, Ludendorff's Easter campaign almost reached Paris (2nd Battle of the Marne), before it ran out of steam.
After that, there was more revolutionary talk in Berlin, and the Germans never made another big offensive on the Western Front, although they were still on French soil at the time of the Armistice. (This helped Hitler's Propaganda.)

The Germans were already exhausted...and the war did end by an Armistice (truce); so it probably would've ended by an Armistice in 1919 instead of 1918.

When did the Germans realize that they could not win World War 1?
I think there is a paradox here. The German front line troops were undefeated in 1918. But there was great hardship in Germany itself. Economically Germany was bankrupt. Although Russia was defeated, Austria/Hungary was also in poor shape. Soon the Americans would bring forces to bear which would breach the German lines. Military defeat would be obvious as 1918 became 1919: It was simply a matter of time.
