SIM7000E Waveshare can't do anything
I'm having similar issues, although it could well be my fault!
I can't see any coding sending AT commands, or waiting for responses in your example.
Try running your TX pin to your RX pin on your Arduino (take the SIM7000e out of the equation completely).  If your code works, then the issue is elsewhere.
I've tried connecting via USB and that seems through a terminal.  I was able to connect to a mobile network using the AT command
