Still cruising at a fair clip. Are there thrusters to slow it down, or is there some kind of force a the L2 location that stops it?

There are thrusters to slow it down, but it'll be pretty minimal changes.
As for a force at L2 that stops it, not really, but also kind of.

Essentially they've given in just enough of a push to get there with essentially zero speed (relative to earth).

It's kid of like putting up hill. You give it just enough of a push to get to the cup, and then it falls in.
They've given it enough of a push to get to L2, and when it gets there it'll settle into orbit around it (with some minor adjustments).
