Answer

Hello!

To make sure you understood correctly, you can also say: 
"I want to see if I understood well: ..." 
”Let me see if I understood this correctly”
”Correct me if I`m wrong" 
"Let me get this straight" 
(Usually, in a conversation, after these phrases, people say what they understood from the other person using different words.)

I hope this helps! :)

Answer

Both would get you there, though the second is better to my ear. If what you have heard is long, you could say (paraphrasing): 'Let me make sure I understand....you want me to...' for example.
