There's a slight difference.
No, there isn't, at least none that was pointed out. As it is, personal morals = thoughts about what laws should(or shouldn't) be about.
Nonsense. Your inability to differentiate the two doesn't confine others to your limited thinking ... it only marks you as someone who culls his values from the larger group rather than thinking for himself.
I know what I think about right and wrong. I also know that seeking to impose my own views on others by dint of law is not only foolish in the practical sense, but also wrong for imposing my values on those who don't share them.
By your logic, a theocracy is moral. By your logic, you, an atheist, should kneel each Sabbath and proclaim your fealty to some deity, if such is required by law. By your logic, you yourself don't have the right to your own self-expression, if your society deems your views verboten.
