Its weird to me as someone who knows virtually zero about electrical systems why the outside plug would trip the bathroom GFIC when its farther away from it? The kitchen is very close to the location and on the same side as the outside outlet

I think you found your problem with the truck, not sure you need to open up the outside outlet behind the caulk.
Now to the outside outlet "not" being on the kitchen GFI, that one I may have an explanation for it.
The galley/kitchen outlet has it's own GFI and it's own circuit breaker on purpose. First, since the kitchen outlet is near water, it needs the GFI part. The next part, Sunline did load balancing as best they could from a 30 amp supply. They know that in the kitchen, that one handy outlet will get a toaster, a coffee pot if you have an electric one, or some other heat creating higher power kitchen gizmo that plugs in. They on purpose did not load that outlet up with a lot of other outlets so you would not trip that 15 amp breaker they call the "Appliance" circuit.
Your second GFI is near the bathroom. Again water is near, so the GFI need. That outlet also has other outlets up and down stream of it. Again load balancing as this bath area GFI is a separate 15 amp circuit from the kitchen circuit. Sunline calls this bath area the "General Purpose" circuit. And since the outside outlet needs a GFI, due to the weather outside, they have to run the cable all the way to the bathroom to hook up to that GFI and not the kitchen which in your floor plan is about 3 feet away.
That make more sense?
