Bsus2, B suspended second, is B, C♯ and F♯: the root (B), the major second (C♯) and the perfect fifth (F♯). Its formula is 1 2 5.

Is Bsus2 the same as Badd9?

No, though the names point at the same extra note, C♯. Bsus2 leaves out the third, so it is neither major nor minor; Badd9 keeps the third, D♯, and adds the ninth on top.

Where does Bsus2 go?

Often back to B or Bm, C♯ moving up to the third. It also works on its own as an open, ringing chord.
