You GPA is a bit low for Hopkins and both your test scores are about average for Hopkins. I would say that you should submit Math 2 only, and shouldn’t really worry about your AP Exam scores. Most colleges, espcially academically rigorous schools like Hopkins, don’t really care about AP Exams. As far as ECs go, they’re pretty good, especially with the the leadership from Boy Scouts and debate club, but the only awards that really matter for Debate club are at the state and national level. Regarding class rigor, did you take most or all of the rigorous classes offered by your school? If you did, that would get you some leeway on your GPA, which is honestly the largest factor holding you back. Additionally, how good is your essay? You may think its good, but you can never be too sure.
Hopkins has a list of good essays from the class of 2020 https://apply.jhu.edu/apply/essays-that-worked/

Overall, I think that your chances are slightly to moderately below average to average, depending on factors like your essays and class rigor, recommendations, etc…
As far as admissions rates go, idk for engineering specifically, but here are some stats for the class of 2020
