I am new to forcing things . I thought my body language was telling everything, at least enough so that she pulls her head forward instead of making a small step on the side when I get closer.
Your escalating was unnatural and felt rushed. Feels to me you were acting as if you were in a nightclub, not at a daytime coffee date.

I tried to not lose my game at that moment, but I can't really have control over that, which is extremely frustrating. Do you have any advice on how to keep my head up and stress out in that situation?
Yes. Don't be so invested. Ever heard of 1 step back 2 steps forward? Sometimes you won't have to take that step back, but sometimes you will. That's perfectly fine and no reason to break down over.

And about the chair, it was a small roundtable at Starbucks so the chairs were facing each other when we sat, but I felt like I had to push a bit so I threw in a joke saying that it felt like an interview and that she should get closer ( also because the conversation was slowing down ).
Either pick a better table next time or do as I've already said - pull the chair over next to hers.

I also tried many times to grab her hand( I never forget about the kino,I always do some kind to keep my intentions clear ), it never worked unless I would explicitly ask for it, and then I would make play a dumb game ( close your eyes...) and I just play with her hands for a bit.
How do you try that exactly? Full caveman out of the blue grabbing her hand? Or do you play with her fingers first, "observe" her ring/watch/wristband/whatever (properly escalate)? Handgrabs while walking down the street can feel awkward at times. Another cool way I like to ease into it is jaywalking.
Find an opening, grab her hand and cross the street in a rushed fashion. Then continue walking hand in hand once you're on the other side. Just don't die in the process.
Simple.

I should also say that she had a tattoo on her thigh, I passed my hand through tattoo very gently at my place, but it didn'the trigger anything.
Yeah, I assume she didn't jump you then and there.
Your problem is not being confident enough in yourself. She was at your place and you still felt like you have to win her over or prove something, which is a form of putting her on a pedestal and handicapping yourself. Be more secure in who you are and what you deserve.
