Question: can I ditch season 2 and go straight to 3 and not be lost? From what I can remember in season 2, they have destroyed the mother colony in the cave. And that’s where I left off.

Just knock it out, the last episode is epic. The last episode is the only one you’d really “need” to see I guess to be ready for season 3. There’s a quick recap at the beginning anyways.

The rat transformed in a meat blob, squeezed out of its cage, and started sliding across the floor.
I assumed it was then going to get the old lady, but good point, it's hard to see how it could have done the face suck just by itself.

Nicee!
There is also a 4 minute recap of the season 2 that you can watch if you need to.
What exactly suggested the bi sexuality of El and Max?
I would have to rewatch the whole scene to point out specifics..... but felt heavily implied in the bedroom scene....... Max’s “advice” etc
El was kidnapped essentially from birth. Her aunt claimed that her mother (Terry) had a miscarriage and that El was never born. This suggests that she did not spend significant time outside of Hawkins National Laboratory. She has only spent 3 years living outside of the lab.
I will rewatch the scene.
I also did not see anything really indicating Will's sexuality. There was once scene where Mike says that Will "doesn't like girls" but that could easily be a reflection of Will being a late bloomer, who wants to hold onto his childhood. The big internal struggle Will faces in season 3 is growing up. Will wants to play D&D and keep on being kids. He has faced very traumatic experiences in the upside down.
I don't disagree with the idea that he could be gay, I just don't see Season 3 as being some sort of revelation about his sexuality.
Agreed, I attributed it to him being a late bloomer also. I did not see any evidence of El however. She just seemed taken aback by max's way of life. Looking at her to understand her and understand life in the prospective from a girl her age
In season 1, when Will goes missing, his mom tells Hop (I think) that he was bullied in school, and that his dad would tell him he was *expletives deleted* (homosexual slurs)
I may be stretching on the El and Max thing though

You are correct. The original script describes Will's struggles.
Here you can find the description of Will’s character on the original script: http://www.zen134237.zen.co.uk/Stranger_Things/Stranger_Things_-_Bible.pdf
Will Byers, twelve, is a sweet, sensitive kid with sexual identity issues. He only recently came to the realization that he does not fit into the 1980s definition of “normal.” His innocent choices, such as colorful clothes, prove a constant source of bullying. Like Mike, Will escapes through fantasy gaming, where he can be himself, uninhibited. He has a close relationship with his mother, Joyce. His brother, Jonathan, helps raise him in lieu of their father, who abandoned them four years ago.
