No!
Saying 2.5, you suppose the error of that number is 0.01 (second digit after dot)
But when you say 2.50, that error is just 0.001 (third digit after dot)
In short, 2.50 is more accurate than 2.5

When you start getting into engineering classes, 2.4 is the same as 2.5 ;)

yes. the 0 acts as a place holder.
once you get into significant figures in your physics, chemistry or ipc class (that kind of stuff) you'll see the relevance of it.
