Take some time to discover where your preconceptions about how many kids is enough comes from. Many people think 1 is plenty. make sure you are not trying to fill a void in your life with another child. Then is all the heart strings are accounted for and acting logically as far as you can tell - look at the logistics. I have 3 and unless we buy a van we can never drive or travel with anyone but us. The kids having a friend over will be a challenge. Most homes are 3-4 bedrooms. Do you want them to share rooms, can you afford a 4 bedroom and if you can would you rather have an office. Ages, college, future. Make a pro-con list. Force yourself to make a decision based soley on it and then right down in your calender a date you will re-evaluate it and don't think of it again. Journal religiously for this time period about everything. See how your life changes in that time and then when you re-visit it, pull out tha old list and see if you feel the same. By adding structure and goals and dates to the process is makes it manageable and not something based on your mood.

Nothing wrong with just wanting two kids. That is more than some people. It better that you know and admit it rather make more kids than you can handle, afford, or want. Make sure that you use some type of birth control method if you really don't want anymore. I wouldn't get tubes tied or him cut for another few years. just in case you do ever change your mind. Then if you don't you can always do it.

If you feel complete, go with that. Don't have more kids because you feel like you "should". You can always get on birth control now, then stop if you change your mind later.

Obviously, you must not feel "complete" or you wouldn't be asking this question and unfortunately, it's a question only you can answer.

If you realize that maybe you feel complete but still want more, then maybe you aren't as complete as you thought.

depends on how well you can care for them, give them personal attention, etc. It's a personal preference for many, for me, for health reasons, I could only have 1.
