No necessarily the end of the world. If you were still able to move, the brakes were not locked on that tightly. Watch it to see if you notice any problems.

Probably you used up more fuel than you should. Brakes would heat up but if nothing unusual happened after it's fine. 2 Miles is not that far to cause damage.
Maybe you would want your handbrake adjusted. It doesn't "brake" enough for you to notice it was engaged.

2 miles, absolutely nothing. Even the brake pad/shoe wear would be minimal.

Not a thing if the hand brake still holds the car. If you wore away brake materal you may have to adjust if possable the rear brakes. Year Make Model and milage please?

not much of a problem, the rear emergency brake really on holds if rolling backwards. when moving forward it somewhat releases.
