Currently two members left on a 5-member board. The homeowners have requested a special meeting to fill vacancies. Meanwhile, can the current Board (of two) make any decisions?

Yes. The business of the HOA doesn't quit just because the members do. My last year as President it was just me and the VP. Even I had moved out of the HOA...Me and the VP were the only ones who could sign checks anyways. My original 7 board members left for various reasons. A few went into nursing homes, others moved, and 1 was stationed overseas for a year. We couldn't elect new members until election time in January.
Your remaining BOD should be listening to the membership when they make decisions. The daily bills still have to be paid. So they will have to keep the HOA afloat until the special meeting is held and new BOD are elected.

Ongoing ordinary business, like paying bills and collecting assessments, can go on without a quorum. These things would have gone on anyway without a vote even if the board was at full strength.
Any decision that requires a vote must have a quorum participating to be legal. This would be for things such as enacting new rules, establishing a budget for the next year, or deciding to pursue legal action against a member. While the board is only two, certain things must be on hold until the empty positions are filled.
