Hmm.  I guess not.

Yes.
It sounds like you really need a smartcard with a built in touch screen for entering the PIN and also displaying confirmation about just what you are signing.
Is there any device like the NGrave device for use with GnuPG which is air gapped and achieves the cryptographic signatures through scanning QR codes or the like?

Yes with proper SecOPs training you could do that but that also involves
a lot of other procedures, hardware and people.  The reality is
different.

Even with a touch-to-sign button you still don't known what you actually
sign or whether the displayed PDF is the PDF actually sent out.  A
compromised box is a game-over condition.  Tilt.  Restart from scratch.
You _may_ not need to re-boot your public key infrastructure due to the
token, though.
