The path stuff (install location) has not been straightened out
yet, but will be when I package TEI. Likely in the next two weeks.
At any rate, it'll quite likely be something like
/usr/share/xml/tei/p4/schema/dtd/tei2.dtd
However, I haven't yet uploaded any TEI packages as I'm still waiting
for them to settle some outstanding licensing issues...

I believe there is a canonical web-based SYSTEM identifier for the
tei2.dtd DTD. Something like
http://www.tei-c.org/P4X/DTD/tei2.dtd,
I believe. This is the recommended portable SYSID. (Unless Syd says
otherwise.)

The XML package catalog for TEI P4, (and any xml package that has a catalog)
is $package.xml. For TEI P4, the package name is likely to be 'tei-p4',
and so the XML package catalog would be named
/etc/xml/tei-p4.xml,
with the SGML package catalog named
/etc/sgml/tei-p4.cat.
These are consistent with the current policies (working drafts) for XML &
SGML. [1], [2]
(Note that new policy drafts will shortly [~1 week] be announced on this list,
where we can all discuss & debate their contents.)

Yes, I would very much like to know this, too.
Fortunately, virtually all of the XML DTDs are also registered in the SGML
catalog system (on Debian, anyway), which emacs can snarf quite easily
'out of the box'.
