In the example "She got down to the final two" I'm assuming this was a competition. It means the same as "She made it to the top two (contestants)". Hope that helps :)

Proceed to a stage.
In this case something is being eliminated, for example job applicants. She has eliminated all but 2 applicants.
Maybe she is trying to choose which recipe to make. She has eliminated all but 2 to choose from.

We use "get down to" in this context because the original group (of contestants?) was reduced to two. She got one of the final two places.
