Dude, we don't use romaji here. Also, you spelled both "gomenasai" and "arigato" incorrectly

「ここ」 is used because it refers to "in this situation". 「これ」, while not incorrect, is just not the native speaker's choice because it sounds too strong. 「思ったりもして」 means "You probably thought ~~~". Speaker is only guessing because you never know what others are thinking for sure.

Thank you SO much for answering my long, cumbersome questions.
Very interesting. I didn't know 「ここ」 could be used in such a way. 「～たりして」 seems like a good form to know, so I'd like to know a little more. Is there any difference between 「～たりして」 and 「～たりもして」? And are these a kind of auxiliary verb? If so, what's the dictionary form?
