Annie's even worse than him, by her admission she's the ultimate conformist, she'll do absolutely anything to survive. Presumably Annie couldn't be brave enough to defy orders and not attack the humans; she wishes she could still be considered a person with some worth despite that, but realizes that's impossible. So that's the demonstration of self-contempt.

The guilt/remorse demonstration was when she kept apologizing to that corpse while cleaning the bodies in Trost.
Yeah, that's what i felt as well though i don't know about the do anything to survive part. Seems she's being forced to capture Eren, maybe her father is being held prisoner or something or it might be her father who ordered her do such things.
