What if I hit reset to factory settings? Will that restore my iPad without updating?

Yep, it will just clean up your settings / (content)

nope but it will be better to update your iOS now to iOS11 (should have done it before when 10.3.2 or 10.3.3 was the latest iOS  ) then stay on it. gives you more chance to be jailbroken than that iOS 7.1

My iPad is an iPad 2. It doesn't run iOS 10.

I donno why people don't read the post before commenting....IPAD 2's last supported firmware is 9.3.5 and never ever supported ios 10+. Yes you can update your ipad 2 using itunes. We also have untethered jailbreak for ios 9.3.5 32-bit devices.

The iPad is jailbroken so i would not recommend that you "Reset" "Erase all content and settings" this could "Possibly" force you in to a "BootLoop", this will ultimately force you to update to the latest iOS for you're device.

You may Possibly have no Jailbreak avalible after !!

Running the "Reset" "Erase all content and settings" option from settings/general is very risky as the iOS firmware will attempt to rebuild it's self, it rebuild's it's self from the information stored on your iPhone. You're information is stored entirely in the iPhone’s flash memory. This includes the iOS operating system.

The iOS operating system was intact and untouched when YOU installed, but when you Jailbroke the device you changed things and the intact untouched iOS operating system has been changed and is no longer the same as it should be, the device can no longer read the iOS operating system correctly and can crash causing a "BootLoop".

The risk is completely down to you but i would advise you not to take it, especially if you wish to keep the Jailbreak.

Never "Reset" or "Erase all content and settings" on a Jailbroken device.

You're iPad can update to 9.3.5, it is as high as it can go, good new is there is a JB available for you're device.

Or you could possibly restore to the same version using something like Cydia Eraser or something along those lines (If it exists for iOS 7).

But if you want the best update to iOS 9.3.5 and use the 32-Bit jailbreak. You won't be disappointed.
