Also why is H2 shown in ionic form 2H^+ (with the subscript removed) and SO4^2- . Does it matter if 2H^+ was written as H2^+ when in ionic form with the SO4^2- ?

H2 in sulphuric acid does not bond with each other, therefore it cannot be considered a diatomic molecule. The two hydrogen ions are separated from each other as will be shown in the picture on the site i put as my source.

No. absolutely now . In water
H2SO4---> 2 H+ SO4--
Even in gaz state each atom of hydrogen is related by one link to the molecule

The actual formulation of sulphuric acid is (OH)S(OH)O2
So the two H atoms exists as OH and release the two H+ ions in water
