Will the F-35A and F-35C have 2D thrust vectoring (like the F/A-22) or not?

Nope. The X-32 would have but not the 35. My guess is they could
have but maybe Lockhhed didn't want it competing with the F-22.

Too late for that.

The Marines are about to get the best dogfighter in the world.

How fast can it go and still use the roll nozzles? (Or does the lift fan
have to be open to use those?)

And does this mean that the F/A-22 can use shorter runways than the F-35A?
