Can gravity become infinitely small?

How about zero?
"lagrange points"
Question 1:

It seems that the equations of GR are continuous,
so that according to the equations, nothing prevents
gravity from becoming infinitely small. True or not?

Covered above. Changes in local curavture between adjacent
points in all directions can be zero, over some small range.

I that is true, that seems not to be in accordance
with the general nature of our universe, which is
basically not continuous.

A population has a different behavior than any one of its
members. No surprise there.

Quantum Mechanics as well as many experiments
tell us that space, time and energy are discrete: the
minimum length is Plank's length, the minimum time
is Planck's time, etc.

Please provide a citation into peer reviewed literature that
supports "space, time and energy are discrete". Quantum
mechanics is entirely transparent to space, and time... having to
be artfully spliced on later.

If gravity could become infinitely small, that would
mean that it is continuous in essence, when every
other thing around is discontinuous.

And?

How could the forces of gravity be continuous when
space, time and energy are not?

How can a population have a "population mean", yet a single
member does not?

So I make the assumption that when the amplitude
of the spatial curvature becomes inferior to Planck's
length, gravity is cancelled.

Bad assumption. Planck length is a failed attempt at dimensional
analysis. Find some mystical meaning in "plank mass".

Thus I am not interested by the detailed anatomy
of the curvature, but by an approximation of its
amplitude. That should help simplifying the
equations. So I have another question:

Question 2:

How to compute the distance from a mass M for
which the amplitude of the deformation of space
caused by the mass becomes inferior to
Planck's length?

Could you repeat that question in English?
