do ammonia down chemicals really work?
will an "ammonia down" chemical such as made by aquarium pharmaceuticals work to keep the ammonia down in a 2 gallon tank with a betta?

I doubt it, I used to work at a pet store and a majority of those chemicals are useless. Adding them will probably pollute your water more.
Best way to deal with high ammonia is to do a 10-25% water change once a week. When you do this water change, try to use a siphon to clean the poop and food debris in the gravel of the tank--those things are probably what are causing your ammonia levels to spike. Your tank is small, so use a small siphon which can be as simple as plastic tubing bought at a hardware store--just make sure to clean it with a 10% bleach solution (not soap!) before putting it in your tank water.
Changing more than 10-25% of water will cause your ammonia levels in your tank to spike as well. There is a beneficial bacteria that grows in new tanks and when too much water is removed at once it causes this good bacteria to be killed off and have to regrow, causing ammonia spikes. A brand new tank (less than 2 weeks old) will also have spiked ammonia levels but should lower after that time.
Try to keep from overfeeding your fish, since extra food at the bottom of the tank and feces (what goes in must come out) contribute to ammonia problems.
I hope this helps!

You do need a water conditioner to use with your tap water. The chlorine in tap water needs to be neutralized. Any water conditioner sold at a pet store will work.
