To be clear, I think the OP made a perfectly fine on the spot ruling for all the activities noted. If I did my own self review after a session, I wouldn't have any concerns.
I just think the conversation is now shifting more towards dispel good and evil for a future perspective. Ok now having studied the spell, would I do that a bit differently than the OP?
And so yes I do think creating an attack roll is out of scope for the spell. Its not mentioned in this touch spell when its clearly noted in other offensive touch spells. An attack wasn't added in 2024, and though a lot of spells didn't get changed it was still one more chance for designers to "fix an issue" if they thought there was one. Since they didn't, that's a number point to the notion that this is how the spell is intended to function.
