You've got the name right, it's a pipe union. They should be easily
available in PVC. I know I've seen them up to 1" or 1.5" on well pump
installations. The 2" is somewhat unusual; might need to go to a
plumbing supply store.

There is pipe glue just for ABS. I forget if it's one that needs a
"primer", so look for that. Easily available at Lowes/HD. Are you sure
it's ABS? The glue has to be matched to the plastic. It also tends to
be viscous stuff, and won't "wick" down into a crack well, so I don't
know how well it would work if just brushed on the surface.
