Yes, you shouldn't be constantly checking on her all the
time.
Yes, you could have interupted her egg laying cycle by doing
that. You're lucky she didn't turn around and destroy the
eggs. It's possible that she will have another egg. maybe,
maybe not.

No, you can't be guaranteed that she'll only lay 2 eggs in
future clutches unless that particular species is known to
only lay a certain amount of eggs per clutch and I would
advise you to find literature that tells you about that
subject. Make sure the reading material only deals with
tiels---Dave
