Just wanted to know if me only having 2 years of a foreign language will put me at a serious disadvantage.

If the college recommends/requires 3+ years, yes, you would be at a disadvantage with 2 years (but you really have 3, so less of an issue). No, your application will not be immediately rejected as a result.

Also, I am taking honors Spanish 3 this senior year but I don’t know if that will compensate since by the time I apply I will only have 2 years of Spanish on my transcript.

Yes, it will “compensate.” You have to list your senior year classes on your application, and your school will need to send a mid-year transcript. Few, if any, colleges will expect you to have completed all the prerequisites by the time you apply.
