How do I do 2 point perspective using inkscape? I could not find it in the documentation.

I do know there is some work underway on other grid types. There have been many requests for guides at all kinds of angles (which I've closed) and a request for Perspective Grid https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1005753&gr...
Which when implemented will hopefully make your task easier.
I would like to draw something as a flat surface, and then put it on the ground and have inkscape figure out how to do the distortion.
Skew is included in the Transform dialog but as far as I know there are no tools or extensions to automate the process as I understand your request.
This tutorial isn't exactly what you are looking for but maybe it will be of some interest. http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/ch02s06.html
