Talk to your doctor about the speech. Most kids can say words and short sentences at nearly 2. There is probably a delay somewhere that needs help.
As for the food- put the little one in a highchair to eat and the older into a booster seat that has a tray he can't remove himself and then give bottles food. Keep them across the room from one another so he can't take the food from the younger one. Also, give only food at meals and snacks, no milk. Until he eats real food no milk until after. I know someone in my family that had this kind of similar problem around your sons age and he was blocked up from stem to stern as it were from drinking nothing but milk and very little food. It took a team of specialists and expensive medicine procedures to get it fixed. You need to mention the eating situation to the doctor and in the mean time make the rule "when you eat your meal you can have your drink"because otherwise there is no incentive to get what he wants.

He needs to eat more solid foods. Try a kids supplemental drink (kind of like the Ensure drinks). They meet a lot of the nutritional needs for kids, taste good, and are the milk like substances, basically comfort food, for a toddler.
By playing with him some in his high chair, he might take on to eating more. Something like counting cheese cubes and eating them together, so he's still getting the bonding time is great.

try giving him milk based foods like chees and yoghurt to start with.
make him a bottle of milk as a reward for eating.
put him in the highchair while baby drinks.
