How do I find the merge request ID based on the commit ID or the last merge request? I want to include merge request ID in the CURL request but I'm unable to find the ID using the git log command.

You might need first to list merge requests, possibly filtering them by state, and take the first one (using jq: | jq '.[0]).
See List project merge requests:
GET /projects/:id/merge_requests?state=opened
curl --header "Private-Token: askljdhakjdlsa" "http://10.10.10.10/api/v4/projects/9/merge_requests?state=opened"
Gitlab stores, next to branches and tags, extra merge-requests/... references that point at Merge Request commits. You can view these running git ls-remote :
$ git ls-remote origin
ed228a67a... HEAD
7215f3432... refs/heads/cache
4ed228a67... refs/heads/master
...
d2cc93ae3... refs/merge-requests/1023/head # current commit for MR #1023
a888aabaf... refs/merge-requests/1023/merge
...
You can pull these references to your local repo, for example by updating the refspec in your config (adapted from this gist) :
[remote "origin"]
url = git@github.com:joyent/node.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
fetch = +refs/merge-requests/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/mr/* # <- add this line
then run git fetch.
You should now see origin/mr/{xxx} references in the output of git log, and use these names in other commands.
You can for example check if a commit is a pull request :
git for-each-ref refs/remotes/origin/mr --points-at <commit-ish>
