Question about English (US)
The only reason I agreed to do this at all is because I figure later on when I’m rich and famous, I’ll have better things to do than answer people’s stupid questions all day long.

‘At all’ in the context could be paraphrased for ‘absolutely’?
Or is there any better things that you suggest?
(Could i say [is there any better what you suggest]?)

It is a very well written sentence. You used "at all" correctly.
No, "at all" in this context could not be paraphrased as ‘absolutely’.
"at all" means in the slightest degree or in any respect.
"The only reason I agreed to do this at all" is kind of like "The only reason I even agreed to do this"
