Agreement of past participle with "on" in compound past tense Il m'a emmené dans un bar branché du centre-ville, où on est restés jusqu'à deux heures du matin ! Why is "restes" plural when is singular even though it means "we"?

en venir à, en être

I have recently started to notice verb structures using en, where the en turns out not to be a pronoun, but seems to be part of an expression. I am having trouble translating

en venir à

en être

S'en vouloir would seem to fall into the same category. I don't know if there are other verbs like this. Is there a general way to interpret the en in these cases?

Is avoir à a possible alternative to devoir?

Can avoir à ever be used instead of devoir? For example j'ai à vous remercier instead of je dois vous remercier.
