It shows as /dev/md/2, while it is called /dev/md2 if I boot into the OS.

It's possible that one is a symlink to the other. IIRC the /dev/md2 naming style is somewhat deprecated. If you can boot off of the current /, you can check for sure.

mdadm --assemble --scan /dev/md/2

I assume it will assemble it. Is it going to cause and problems assembling it under a different name in order to run the fsck?

If it assembles, then it shouldn't cause any problems once you reboot. Running fsck against the /dev/md/2 device should be fine.
