Will the F-35A and F-35C have 2D thrust vectoring (like the F/A-22) or

not?

Nope. Not needed. Their is more than enough tail area for stability, and the
agility requirements of the aircraft aren't that huge. Would be an
unwarranted expense. The MacDonnel-Douglas JSF design had it, but it was
included to augment control because the V-tail config had some stability
compromises.
