I think you're wrong on the former. In my opinion, a better characterisation is that agnostics think the truth value of {God(s) exist} is either unknown or possibly even unknowable.

They *could* mean that of course, and perhaps some do. That's rather a difficult position to hew to consistently though and most agnostics don't seem to.
