first of all, you can bank in a browser on a mobile phone just fine. second of all, don't do your banking on your phone. that is a horrible idea and is one of the reasons mobile phone theft is so lucrative, because people are so obliging to keep their entire financial information downloaded to a single device.
How do you deal with 2fa? For capital one in particular, I don't believe there is an option not to use their app, and the other banks that I use are in the same boat or adamantly recommend to use their app.
I don’t understand your question. Why would 2FA be a problem? Every password manager supports it. I almost never use my mobile for 2FA, unless I’m away from my laptop. As for Capital One, you can log in using the website from any browser.
Furthermore, since Linux phones run Linux, there’s nothing stopping you from running Android apps on Linux phones.
If their bank is anything like my bank, you NEED to have the mobile app installed to login with for online banking.
