Looking for Mod Recommendations for BG2EE, mainly TOB section
I was referring to Scales of Balance and random tweaks, if you're not familiar. SoB, I haven't used in awhile; random tweaks includes some nice quality of life stuff I like (goodberries, cure spells bypass deflection, etc).

Mod overview: Tweaks, convenience mods, quality of life, and other minor enhancements
Scales of Balance: A very large mod with potentially far-reaching changes that I have not tested nearly enough to comment on in detail. Includes an armor overhaul, a feat system, major changes to weapon usability, minor tweaks to Icewind Dale items, removal of class-based potion restrictions, overhauls to racial stat bonuses, changes to saving throws, bonus spells for high int/wis/cha, a complete rework of magic resistance, and much more besides. The readme is extremely thorough: read it first to avoid compatibility issues.

And Garrick takes all the credit
It's part of a mod called Scales of Balance. It's got a lot of other changes too, but I just stuck with the ability score based bonus spells component and ignored the rest as the other stuff changed way too much for me. It does also grant mages bonus spells based on intelligence which could potentially be a bit OP with the extra slots a specialist mage already has.

Are there any mods that make mental attributes more relevant?

Godlike (?)
Most stats don't really matter especially in an unmodded game. There are mods to make them more significant. The one I use is Scales of Balance, which contains a crap ton of tweaks and is very granular so you can just install what you want.

Is there a BG2EE mod that completely removes Energy/Level Drain from the game?
Subtledoctor's Random Tweaks - https://github.com/subtledoctor/d5_Random_Tweaks - includes a tweak to update all level drain effects with a saving throw. That's everything AFAIK.

Baldur's Gate vs Icewind Dale
I'm pretty sure I said that it didn't change spells that were already in BG. But the tweak to sleep that I use is this one. I don't install every single tweak, but some of them I quite like.

Mod overview: Tweaks, convenience mods, quality of life, and other minor enhancements
subtledoctor’s random tweaks: a wide-ranging collection of tweaks that will generally make your life easier. “Cure Spells Bypass Deflection,” “Tweak Protection from Petrification,” and “Party-friendly Smashing Wave” are particularly handy. Optional changes to False Dawn, Sunray, and Hold/Control Undead allow these spells to bypass Magic Resistance, and the addition of a saving throw vs level drain makes it marginally less annoying. Some of these changes improve spells or items, others nerf them (eg, changing Web’s effect on failed save from Hold to Slow + 0 APR). All components are optional, so look over the readme first. Contains several components designed to affect Spell Revisions or Item Revisions, so install after those (if you use them).

WheelsOfProphecy - Wheels of Prophecy is a mod for Baldur's Gate II original or the Enhanced Edition. Wheels of Prophecy is a smallish mod that tries to add a bit more nonlinearity and roleplaying opportunity to the Throne of Bhaal expansion, mostly but not entirely centered around chapter nine. In summary, Wheels of Prophecy doesn't change the events of Throne of Bhaal (not much, anyway), but it does let the player interact with them in a much more flexible way.
