I must have done it or I had to do it

Both of the sentences above are translated as "J'ai du le faire".

BUT the two formulations in English have not-very-subtle differences in meaning.

"I had to..." implies "I was obligated to.." or "I was forced to..." - very definite!

"I must have..." implies "I may have forgotten to ..." -- quite indefinite!

How are these different flavors of meaning expressed en francais?

Use of "chez" in example

Please explain the use of "chez" in the example: Qu'est-ce qui te plaît chez Anna ? with the translation "What do you like about Anna?" I'm confused about the use of 'chez.' Merci!

I chose je voudrais because of the impossibility of being le maitre de l'univers so why would one say je veux?
