Would phrases like these generally be considered inclusive of the current period?
I think it's pretty clear that last week does not include the current week. But does last 2 weeks include the current week? Does it make a difference where you currently are in the period?
For instance does last 2 weeks on Sunday mean the exact same time period as last 2 weeks on the following Monday (assuming you start a new week on Monday). On the following Thursday, does it then become an 11 day period rather than 14 days?

Tricky. On its own, last week means the entire previous week. So on a Tuesday, last week would be the previous Monday to Friday, or Monday to Sunday, depending.
In the last two weeks would generally mean the previous 14 days.
