Well it is good if I understood it, it is what we can hope for.

OK did we remove the pullup on TX_MODEM on this board?

One of these should float since it is an input?

One of these should float since it is an input?

When you measure with a scope probe, a good trick is to estimate the
source impedence of the signal by putting your finger on the scope probe
too on and off.  By seeing the amplitude of the mains "hum" you inject
you can guess the source impedence (==floatingness) is low or high.

I didn't get why INT0 shows floating AND 2.9V here.

If I understood it, you are in a good sleep mode if we only pull 4-5mA
with GSM modem "on"?

What is the level for Vbat at this time?  2.9 sounds like a diode-ish
drop away from maybe 3.3V.  Is Vbat really still ~3.6V?
