Don't switch to lifting your chest, just keep your chest/upper torso along for the ride a little better instead of letting your back angle change quite as much as you're doing.
Your squats actually look pretty easy and fast. Every rep is nowhere near a grind. I suspect you have a lot more re-progression in the tank, but you're tentative because they hurt. I don't blame you for feeling that way when pain is involved. I'm not sure about your pain situation, but it doesn't sound very good to me. Have you done anything to address it other than laying off heavy lifting?
One more thing: you may like facing the other way better. A wall so close to you may throw you off a bit.
