So far, so good.

What request do you want nginx to make of the app2 server here? -- /,
/cms, or something else?

What request is nginx making of the app2 server? -- check the app2 server
logs, if the nginx logs don't tell you.

If you make either of those requests of app2 yourself (using curl),
do you get what you expect?

Same questions. What do you want to happen? What does happen?

Unless graphite is one of those special and beautiful apps that allow
themselves to be easily reverse-proxied at a non-root url, you may end
up happier if you just use two separate server{} blocks with different
server_name directives.

But that can be worried about after you see how your /cms locations work.
