can't & must not

What are the equivalents for can't & must not for logical conclusions in Spanish? That is, how can I express the difference in meanings given in the following examples?

(present)

The restaurant can't be open - the door is locked

The restaurant must not be any good - it is always empty

(Past)

He had left the office at 6:00 p.m. He can't /couldn't have been at home at 6:05 p.m

She was not answering the doorbell. She must not have been at home then.

Regards,

Alexander

Using todo

Yesterday in a store I said to the owner "tiene todo." I was trying to say "you have everything."

He replied (I think) "tengo de todo." I wasn't sure if he was correcting me or not.

Did I get my question right? What was he saying?

Thanks so much, Tony

Era vs. Fue

The fill in the blank read "Mi prima __________ Miss Universe." The interpretation read " My cousin was Miss Universe" I don't see why era should be considered incorrect. She was (past tense) implies that she no longer is, hence she used to be. I have seen many sentences like "Cuando era niña..." translated as when I WAS girl. As the sentence stands, either fue or era should be accepted. To be honest, I think era is a more accurate description.
