I'm new to this site and my question is :
How and what did I do or pushed to have accepted a draw when I knew that the game is in my favor?
I don't remember accepting a draw specially that my last move was the defining move.
Is there any trick by the opponent to stop and draw a losing game? If there is none, then I might have pressed the wrong button...please let me know....
Furthermore , what does "PGN" stand/s for in this site?
Thank you.

PGN (short for Portable Game Notation) is the standard format for recording a game in a text file that is processible by computers.
With regards to your draw question:
The only time a draw can be 'forced' on you is if there are insufficient pieces for a win eg only two Kings or 3rd repetition of a move whereby your opponent can claim a draw.
I looked at your game and neither of those are applicable in your case so it does look like your opponent offered a draw and you (by mistake) accepted it.
Going forward, always watch out for the red and green banner that appears when a draw is offered; the odd player will cheekily ask for a draw if they feel they are going to lose but that is rare.
