When I activate the limit and it is set to 2 GB, it seems that 12 GB will be saved. Not 600. It is true?
If you set the prune limit to 2 GB, you keep 2 GB of data from the blockchain and the UTXO set which should be around 11 GB in size as of now.

It's also worth to mention size of UTXO usually grow slowly over time, with exception of Ordinal boom which double it within a year.

And one more question. Does the pruned node do the same thing that full does? I want to know if what I am doing is valuable or not.

Mostly same, but pruned node only share 288 most recent blocks to other nodes, no matter size of recent blocks a prune node store. IIRC this behavior is intended to prevent node fingerprinting.
