it can be push on that stack, it should unlock the UTXO and can spend the fund

A few observations

1. You refer to P2SH but the witness data suggests you intend something else
   like [P2WSH or P2SH-P2WSH etc](https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/q/107872/13866)?
2. The witness marker and flag go after the version number.
3. I suspect you want your marker to be `b'\x00\x01` not `b'00'`
4. The locktime goes *after* any witness data.
5. You seem to be using `input_script` in both the input and the witness.
6. AFAIK, if your sole input is really a P2SH output you shouldn't have any witness markers or other witness fields in the spending transaction.
