Yes, Tylenol will help ease the pain of menstrual cramps - all non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs all work on menstrual cramps as it is inflammation caused by hormones that cause uterine contraction which cause menstrual cramps. It is however far better to prevent yourself from getting menstrual cramps to begin with, often lifestyle changes alone are enough to prevent menstrual cramps.

Is it possible to have period cramps and no period and be pregnant if you are 2 days late for your period and have mild cramps?

Two days late is nothing and I doubt that you are pregnant. What you describe is PMS and the cramps often come before a period as well as during a period. Stay off of sugars, caffeine, and take B6 to help yourself. When the cramps start using a heating pad to help yourself. When you are a month late for a period take a test.

Does eating bananas help your period to be lighter?

No, but foods/drinks do affect your PMS and periods. Caffeine, too much sugar, junk foods, sodas, fast foods will make PMS, cramps, and bloating worse. B12 and B6 will help you relieve some of these things. Bananas are high in potassium, so that could help with some issues, but I don't think it would make the period lighter. Birth control pills definitely do as well stopping the PMS and cramps.
