Ça a dû être vs Ça doit avoir été

Bonjour forum et les experts

Mon question se réfère à la phrase 'Ça a dû être particulièrement difficile pour la pauvre Christelle' Je n'ai aucun problème  avec  le phrase. Je demande juste si c'est également possible de l'écrire, 'Ça doit avoir été particulièrement difficile pour la pauvre Christelle'?

Et si no, pourquoi?

J'apprécierai votre aide

Il n’a que deux frères - He only has two brothers. Is this correct? or it should be - He has only two brothers?

When used in a questionYou wrote 'When used in a question, "où" always means "where?" and "quand" always means "when?"' but didn't give an example. Does that mean "Le jour où j'ai eu vingt ans" become "Le jour quand ai-je eu vingt ans?" Thanks.

"c'est ca?"

I had written "n'est-ce pas?" instead of "c'est ca?" Is "n'est-ce pas?" not an acceptable substitute here?

About the pronouncation: About the pronouncation: Isn't there a subtle difference between the pronouncatin of j'arrivai and j'arrivais? If not, then the conditional and the future tenses would sound the same. J'arriverai would sound just like J'arriverais.
