What size PVC pipe do you use for the main drain line out of your house to the street?
Most of the time it is 4 inch.
Can you use 2 inch pipe for a toilet line or are you asking for trouble I have an existing line I want to hook a toilet into that is 2inch?
I think the standard is a 4-5" pipe for toilet exhausts. To use a 2" pipe is asking for trouble. Friends of mine have the toilets that grind the waste in a box behind the cistern before it is flushed away. They both have had no end of trouble with the systems which grinds and flushes goes away through a standard size 22mm copper pipe to the sewer line. It is one thing to 'economise' and put up with the inconvenience of the smell and stuff like that - undoing the grind box to get to clogged blades - and there is the costs of "doing the job properly". I really advise you to do the job properly. Less hassle in the end.

How do you install a regular toilet flange on a cast iron 6 inch sewer pipe?
If you can get to the 6 inch cast iron, you could use a rubber coupler between the cast and the flange. If it is in the concrete, put a piece of 4 inch PVC inside the 6 inch and lead it in like you would a regular cast joint. Leave the 4 inch above the floor and slide the flange over it, screw it down and cut the 4 inch flush with the flange. They make just the flange that will slide over the pipe.
