I was working for a temp agency for a little bit over 2 weeks and got let go by the company I was sent to. Can I still qualify UI?

You can file and see what they say. The benefits period is based on your earnings from 4 - 6 months ago, so it will be based on any earnings you had during that time frame and not the 2 weeks you worked at the agency.

Unfortunately, you are not qualified for unemployment because in order to receive unemployment, you have to work permanently at some company and they let you go for no reason. The client that you worked for didn't like your performance at work. Call your recruiter hoping that it wasn't that bad of a review and they will send you to another assignment. Some temp agencies won't give that temp anymore work if they had a bad performance review from a client. Call and ask. If you did register for one of the agencies that perform that way, then go to a different one. Good luck.

No. And if it is thru a temp agency then you are an employee of the temp agency, not the company they sent you to so you have no benefits whatsoever, including unemployment. If the company didn't keep you, you need to let the temp agency know and they will send you to another job.

The staffing agency is your employer, not the company you were at. If they offered you another job, then you will not qualify. You need to speak with them

You may be. You can file, do it on line.
It;ll cost you a frew minutes, no more.
However, you have to have some previous work experience. just two weeks and nothing more, you don't have enough credit.
But let them, not us, tell you whether you have a valid claim or not.

My guess would be "No". But, every state has different labor laws, so you would need to check with your state's labor organization.
