one more question for everyone, this is important because this will determine whether or not i get any money from this whole ordeal
is it bad for an amplifier, particularly a model T (bad can mean many things i know, so whatever it means to you, go with that) if the amp is running a 2 ohm load for 5 hours running only a line out and not plugged into a speaker cabinet? as in, how does this work in terms of current and stuff like that?
Yes. I think you are actually describing an open output, or a near
infinite load on the output stage which can indeed do damage over 5 hours. I think generally a lower load is safer than a higher load; e.g. a 2 ohm load on the 8 ohm tap is less risky than the reverse with a tube amp, say an 8 ohm load on the 2 ohm tap, and generally a 50% mismatch isn't going to do much if any damage either way.
A SS amp is the opposite; a higher load is safer, with a tube amp a higher load is more damaging, and an open jack is about a
gazillion ohms. To illustrate, Fender amps used to default to a
short (about
zero ohms) as a safety feature if the amp was used without a load plugged in.
