The complex number \(2 - i\) is denoted by \(u\).
(i) It is given that \(u\) is a root of the equation \(x^3 + ax^2 - 3x + b = 0\), where the constants \(a\) and \(b\) are real. Find the values of \(a\) and \(b\).
(ii) On a sketch of an Argand diagram, shade the region whose points represent complex numbers \(z\) satisfying both the inequalities \(|z - u| < 1\) and \(|z| < |z + i|\).
