Does Ensnaring Bridge prevent the Angel token from attacking if Ensnaring Bridge's controller holds less than 4 cards in hand?

How would Geist interact with Propaganda/Ghostly Prison/Elephant Grass?

Follow up: Can the Angel token attack a planeswalker that Geist is not attacking? Does the token have to be attacking the same player/planeswalker?

No, it enters the battlefield attacking.

Those don't interact with the token at all since it's already attacking.

Yes, you choose what it's attacking when the token enters the battlefield.

508.4. If a creature is put onto the battlefield attacking, its controller chooses which defending player or which planeswalker a defending player controls it's attacking as it enters the battlefield (unless the effect that put it onto the battlefield specifies what it's attacking). Such creatures are "attacking" but, for the purposes of trigger events and effects, they never "attacked."
