A 2 pounder does need to eat at least 3-4 times a day or you can free feed.
If he is eating the dry very well, he does not need canned.
It won't hurt though.
One half cup of food per feeding for a dog of his size sounds like too much to me. Maybe give him the cup a day you are feeding now and just break it into more meals?

If he is eating a food that is AAFCO approved for puppies, he should not need vitamins at all because the food is full of them. If you give too many extra vitamins, it can actually throw off the balance of the food.

Nutrical or Nutristat is okay but if the pup is eating very well, you probably don't need to give it. It is best that that is balanced out with protein anyway. Anyway, it's a debated subject on whether or not to give this kind of product often but it is something you could talk to his vet about.
