Now that we established that, is 1.99999.... = 2 ?

Infinity is a process not a number.

∞ + ∞ = more than enough

My favorite thing was always how there are WAY more rational numbers between 0 and 1 than fractions between 0 and 1.

Since infinity breaks most of the standard rules of number fields anyways, those don't apply, so it's not an obviously fixed and unique result. It's not like mathematics somehow tells you uniquely what a thing is without you exactly defining first what you mean by the symbols you use (the axioms) in a self-consistent manner...

If you are talking cardinality (sizes of sets) then you can ask how big is a union of two disjoint infinite sets- then the answer is infinity. But then there is a whole hierarchy of infinities: the union of two countable infinite sets is again countable infinite. The union of a countably infinite set and an uncountably infinite one is again uncountably infinite.
