Why on earth would you ask them that? They probably don't know any better than you do - ask them if they're still there if/when you're actually thinking about coming back. It would be very weird to ask before you even leave, IMO
Exactly this, keep your head down, do your dirt, help when you can.
The decision you make in 2 years will be in a world different than now. The place you work now will likely change in that time. You will likely change in that time.
I wouldn't evaluate going back unless you would make that decision soon.
Strange as this may sound, your highest value as an employee, both from your and your employer's perspective, is the first two years of your employment, because you are the newbie, with a different set of experiences, different methods, different ideas, different solutions and different considerations.
Both you and your employer learn the most in those two years.
Don't be afraid of being a newbie, it's how you advance your career.
Don't assume you can just hop into your old job. You might be forced to take a different type of job at a different location.
That being said, it's good to hop to a new job that values you more or teaches new skills.
Everybody I worked with at my last job followed me to my new job. Not because of me, just because it's a much better place to work, and small towns don't have many options.

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
