I dont know what it is called but when you only hit 2 strings like a strum, how do prevent hitting and extra pr missing the second.

I generally use one of two techniques. I either, carefully only hit the strings I intend to or I dampen the strings I don't want to sound. I let the feel I'm trying to achieve dictate which method I use.

This.

Plus don’t over think it just keep playing until it starts sounding how you want it to.

I also suggest a third method. Hybrid pick the two or three strings. Pluck upwards with your fingers.
