In light of 2 Tim 4:17, and the context of Paul's imminent death, can we say that Paul
felt that he had preached the Gospel to all nations? If yes, does this mean that he
reached Spain (as he indicated his intention to go there in Rom 15)?

NO! First of all, Paul did not write 2 Timothy. It is some years later.

2nd. One must reckon with the rhetorical use of hyperbole. I does not imply therefore that he had reached Spain.
