Dabura is nowhere near Cell level. Gohan never went SSJ2 as an adult except when fighting Kibito, and Fat Buu.
Broly takes this easily. He could defend against Dabura's spit with a barrier, and if he got hit by it, he could chop off whatever limb it took and regrow it with his LSSJ regeneration. Not to mention that Broly WAS Cell level, and even stronger in the second coming when he tanked multiple attacks from a SSJ2 like they were feathers landing on his face.

What if he hit him on the forehead?

Yes he did, his hair is clearly SSJ2, not 1.
His SSJ1 is not that spiky.
If Gohan weren't a SSJ2 against Dabura, he wouldn't have stood a chance in hell against him. Why? Because Goku, who can very accurately sense ki, outright stated that Dabura~PCell:

It was also confirmed multiple times that Cell-era Gohan>>Buu-era Gohan:

This is important because during the Cell Games, Cell(who was holding back the entire time, mind you) was still far more powerful than SSJ Gohan--in fact, Gohan only gained the upper-hand when he went SSJ2. Point: Buu-era Gohan, who, again, was much weaker than Cell-era Gohan, absolutely would not have been able to stalemate a Cell-level foe as a standard SSJ. I can say this with confidence because not even Cell-era Gohan was able to stalemate a Cell-level foe as a standard SSJ. Therefore Gohan must have been a SSJ2 when he fought Dabura. 🙂
In a nutshell: SSJ2 Gohan(Cell-era)>>PCell~Dabura~SSJ2 Gohan(Buu-era)>>SSJ Gohan(Cell-era)>>SSJ Gohan(Buu-era)
