I am looking either for an idl code to re-project the data (read by some other IDL codes) or for an idl code to convert the raw integer number to floating corrected values (so I can use gdal for re-projection or MRTSwath). Any help would highly appreciated.

You can also try the MODIS Conversion Toolkit (MCTK). It's written in IDL, leverages ENVI, and works with every known product. It used to be available in the Exelis VIS code library. When that went down a few months ago, I moved all of my plugins over to GitHub:
https://github.com/dawhite/ENVIPlugins
MCTK is the first entry on the list. The user guide that comes in the zip file will walk you through how to drive it.
