Not sure what you mean by V2 and the rest... Part 23.67 has do with certification of multi-engine aircraft and not really anything to do with the calculation of any V speeds or accelerate-stop distances. It's in another place in part 23 I'm not sure of right now.
V2 is takeoff safety speed. In the event of an engine failure, we'll pitch for V2 as a climb-out speed.
In our pre-flight briefs, we fully brief each other on what would happen in the event of an engine failure; such as speeds, headings, approaches, or any other pertinent info. Part of that brief also includes what we will abort for; below 80kts any warning, caution, failure. Above 80kts and below V1, we abort for any warning, engine failure or fire, any loss of directional control or catastrophic failure. Of course, we'll abort at the captain's discretion at any time.
