You can't create a watching only wallet for 2FA using a single master public key. 2FA wallets are "MultiSig", so you need ALL 3 master public keys from your 2FA wallet to be able to create a watching only version of it.
In "Wallet -> Information", you should see "Cosigner 1", "Cosigner 2" and "Cosigner 3", each one shows the appropriate master public key... So, if you created a 2-of-3 "MultiSig" wallet using those 3 public keys:
- File -> New -> MultiSignature
- from "3" cosigners
- require "2" signature
- "Use Public or Private Keys"
- Copy/paste "cosigner 1" key from your 2FA wallet
- "Use cosigner key"
- Copy/paste "cosigner 2" key from your 2FA wallet
- "Use cosigner key"
- Copy/paste "cosigner 3" key from your 2FA wallet
That will generate a watching only version of your 2FA wallet. Although, theoretically you shouldn't even need to create a watching only wallet. The "Two Factor Authentication" is your security net. You only have 1 key out of 3 on your PC, the 2nd is "hidden" (but recoverable with the seed) and the 3rd is owned and controlled by TrustedCoin (and needs your 2FA token to work). So, even if someone compromises your wallet, they only have 1 key...

So i created a BTC wallet in Electrum on laptop with 2fa and copied public key to my main pc to create a watching only wallet.
All was going good until i tried to send coins from wallet, when i was recovering from seed on laptop i see that my balance is 0 and no transactions was occurred (but i sent about 3 of them).
Then when i start digging i notice that addresses is different on this 2 wallet.
When clicking on wallet -> Information there is a section "Wallet type" and on my main pc it says p2pkh and on recovered from seed laptop it shows as p2sh, therefore i think that's why addresses are different.
Please advise is it possible to recover funds from this wallet?
Thank you very much!
Let me ask if where you send your bitcoin? did you send your bitcoin into watch only bitcoin address or you send to your bitcoin address which is wallet with recovery seed.All was going good until i tried to send coins from wallet, when i was recovering from seed on laptop i see that my balance is 0 and no transactions was occurred (but i sent about 3 of them).

I don't think if you can be still recover your funds because you send it in the wrong address where no seed backup or not under control. If you don't had a seed phrase of the watch only address in your main computer its impossible to recover them back..
