Helically twisted multilayers offer access to moir\'e physics beyond the single-superlattice paradigm, yet their correlated and topological transport properties remain largely unexplored in semiconductor moir\'e materials. Here we report magnetotransport measurements of helical trilayer WSe2, in which two coupled moir\'e patterns relax into a supermoir\'e landscape composed of inequivalent local topological domains with distinct electronic structures and unequal spatial areas. By electrostatic tuning, we identify a trilayer-hybridized regime where interactions and real-space reconstruction combine to generate a plethora of magnetic and topological states absent in the twisted bilayers. At moir\'e filling factor $\nu$ = -1, we observe a ferromagnetic insulating state that is robust against magnetic field and accompanied by a non-quantized anomalous Hall response ~-4 kOhms. This behaviour is consistent with a time-reversal-symmetry-breaking supermoir\'e Chern mosaic, in which the Hall response arises from the non-cancelling contributions of local domains with opposite Chern character arranged by the relaxed structure. Under strong magnetic fields, a symmetry-broken Chern insulating state (C = 1) emerges near $\nu$ = -2/3, displaying a much larger positive Hall response together with strongly enhanced longitudinal resistance, suggestive of field-reconstructed topological minibands and domain-boundary scattering. These results establish relaxed supermoir\'e semiconductor trilayers as a platform for spatially organized magnetism and topology beyond the bilayer limit.
