So by that logic, for example if PVD's tower controllers said "ok SWA 1234
we will stick around for another 30 minutes" - SWA 1234 still wouldn't be
allowed to shoot the CAT II approach because the tower was not in
operation because it was outside the normal operating hours?


No. Airspace is regulatory, facility operating hours are not. For the 5
1/2 minutes PVD tower was in operation after the published operating hours
of the tower/TRACON and the Class C airspace there was a towered field in a
Class E surface area.
