You didn't mention if you would have checked bags.
yvr1971 makes a valid point if Azul only checks your bags to GRU, you will need to claim them and go thru customs.
If no checked bags, then you likely can use the airside walkway. The T2 international arrivals are at the gates on the side of the terminal closest to T3. I have used it numerous times, but only on Domestic to International connections, where passport control has to be gone thru. I would imagine this step would not be required on International to international.
Here are two videos that show the domestic to international airside connection, one about 8 years old, the other about 7 months old. I could not locate any videos that showed the T2 international to T3 international airside connection.
(7 months)
When I last used this airside connector in November 2024, they had driver operated carts for parts of it at no cost, so you don't have to walk if you so choose.
