What does "I would have thought" mean here?
I would have thought there was nothing in that to disturb me. But I felt uneasy, and I wasn't sure why at first.
* I don't understand what "I would have thought" mean. Is it different from "I thought" or "I had thought"?

This is a very British way of saying, "I would have imagined." It means you are trying to think how you would have thought/felt/answered, etc., before such an event took place. For example:
"I would have thought I'd be very happy when he asked me to marry him, but when he actually did it I felt uncertain."
