Your Google Chrome add-ons and extensions should follow you to Chromium when you log into Chromium using your Google Chrome account. Based on this link, the Linux Lite folks have added pepperflash to Chromium. Pepperflash is something you will need to view things which require Adobe flash.
Dual booting wouldn't be affected by your amount of memory. Whichever operating system you boot to will have access to all of the 2GB of memory.
I was unhappy with my dual processor machine at 2.3Ghz and 4GB of memory running Windows 7 32-bit and especially 64-bit. The same desktop machine that I purchased in 2007 is running LL 2.8 64-bit better than it ever ran Windows Vista or Windows 7. I've upgraded to 7GB of RAM, and I feel the PC has another 5 years in it.
If you've used your HP Stream 11 with Windows on it, I think you'll notice an improvement with whichever version of Linux Lite you choose. I can say when I shifted a user's middle spec hardware from LL 64-bit to LL 32-bit, the performance was noticeable. That machine was dual core (I'm guessing about 2GHz) and 3GB of DDR2 RAM. The hard drive was only 5400 rpm, but the difference in performance from 64-bit to 32-bit was noticeable.....on his hardware.
I do not think you'll have a problem with drivers. Your processor and video graphics are Intel based. The only major item I don't know about is your wireless adapter. But I don't expect that to be a show stopper either.
