Welcome to ATP,

>> is my pot to small
1.
After two years in a small pot, I would expect the roots to have filled the container mix densely enough that you could carefully turn the pot over while straddling the plant between your fingers (supporting the soil with your fingers and palm).
Then jiggle or twist and lift the pot off the root ball, enough to see how root bound the plant is.
If roots have FILLED the soilless mix and are circling the pot, it might be time for a bigger pot.
2.
HOWEVER, if the roots have NOT filled the pot all the way down to the bottom, ask yourself if the mix is aerated well enough. If it gets soggy and the bottom inch or two STAY soggy, there might be too little air in the bottom of the pot for the roots to "breath (they do need oxygen).
You might need to knock off as much soilless mix as practical and re-pot with a more "open", gritty mix so that water can drain out enough to let air into the spaces left behind. Then air can diffuse through the open spaces.
If you re-pot, should it be a bigger pot? I don't know.
3.
I wonder if the brown tips might be caused by dry warm air? I see that the plant is located right above a baseboard heater. I wouldn't urge you to move it away from the window (what plant doesn't need light?)
Some people set plants on big saucers full of pebbles or gravel, and flood the saucer to give the foliage more humidity. I would be cautious about setting any plant pot right IN a puddle of water. I think that roots need air more than leaves need humidity!
But listen to people with house-plant experience, not to me!
If I wanted to give a plant more humidity, I might set it on a big shallow saucer with a cotton flannel pad, or felt pad, and water it very slightly, twice per day. That way the pot would not be immersed in standing water, but the pad would always be moist.
Or,
IF dry air is the problem, you could spray or mist the leaves several times per day.
4.
Do you give it soluble fertilizer? Too much might cause brown tips. I would expect too little fertilizer to cause light green or yellow leaves, but I don't know spider plants.
I'm mostly speculating here - I hope you get more experienced answers!
