I would use 'were' in all cases there. 'Would' is OK.

2 hours were remaining for my flight to leave. Does this sentence sound natural? If not, please do tell me the natural sentence. Thank you.

I don't like 'for' there or in your sentence #1, but I am supposing that people utter it on occasion. I would probably say:
There were two hours left till my flight left.
There were two hours left till my flight left.
