Assalamualaikum,
Can we make jamaat namaz with 2 persons, one imam and one muktadi.

Yes (as far as I have always seen and been taught). In fact this is a very common practice. Whenever 2 brothers are present, they should strive to Insha'Allah make salat in jamaat.

However, with 2 people total (1 imam 1 muktadi), the muktadi does not stand behind the imam as with regular jamaat (for that 2 muktadis are needed behind imam). Rather, the imam stands to the left of the muktadi, and imam's feet should be slightly (maybe less than 1 step's worth) ahead of the muktadi's feet so it is implied that the imam is leading the salat and in front. Overall, they are both standing next to each other and rest of salat is prayed as normal.

Insha'Allah the more knowledgeable will correct me if I said anything wrong.

Allah knows best.
