Yes, the Undying part is in book 2.
Dany's story in book 2 is pretty boring up until the end. Actually like I said in the other thread, the increments are so small and interwoven it often feels like nothing happened over a whole book and then you get to the end and realize how far things have gone since the previous book.
In book 2 all Dany does is wander the desert, find a lost city, goes to Quarth. meets Xaro and Pyat Pree and then burn down the undying. She also meets Ser Barristan the Bold for the first time right at the end IIRC.
Tyrion/Cersei/Stannis are really the main stories in book 2. Most of the story revolves around Kings Landing and the impending battle with Stannis. There is also quite a bit of set up for the power stuggle in Kings Landing going forward. I'd maybe throw Theon into that lot as his and Bran's storyline have some action.
The Arya/Jon/Dany storylines are pretty much all set up for stuff that is yet to come. The Cat and Brienne story has a few important parts, like the scenes with Renly, but mostly is all just set up for the end of book 2 story with Cat/Brienne/Jaime, which continues in the books 3-5.
