We introduce and investigate a generalized Gross-Pitaevskii equation for two-dimensional (2D) attractive Bose systems. First, we demonstrate that it accurately captures key properties of universal bound states in free space commonly referred to as quantum droplets. We then apply the framework to predict the existence of universal excited states, including vortex configurations, which may be more accessible to experimental investigation than the ground state. Additionally, we investigate breathing modes and quench dynamics in trapped geometries. Our results establish a robust theoretical foundation for exploring both static and dynamical phenomena in finite 2D Bose systems, offering guidance for the design of future experimental protocols.
