Is your root node set to "pauseable"? It's under process. Also, the default pause method is get_tree().paused = true / false and it will halt all actions in the scene. Anything that is supposed to still work (like your pause menu) should have the process type "When paused"

#

Also in terms of your code's complexity, you could just (in _process(delta)) listen for the Esc keypress, if so pause the game with get_tree().paused = true and change the visibility of/instantiate your menu (which has the "when paused" process chosen). Either add a way to unpause via a button in there or make the esc button flip between the bool

From a quick glance, it looks like get_tree().paused = !game_paused should be get_tree().paused = game_paused instead.

#

That also explains the behavior of pausing on closing the pause menu
