What happens if I control a Jötun Grunt in my upkeep with 2 counters and there are only 2 cards in my opponents gy (And none in mine). Can I put those 2 cards in the bottom and then sac it because of the second counter or should I sac it right away without putting any card in the bottom ?
No. You have to pay all of the costs or none of it.
702.22a Cumulative upkeep is a triggered ability that imposes an increasing cost on a permanent. “Cumulative upkeep [cost]” means “At the beginning of your upkeep, if this permanent is on the battlefield, put an age counter on this permanent. Then you may pay [cost] for each age counter on it. If you don’t, sacrifice it.” If [cost] has choices associated with it, each choice is made separately for each age counter, then either the entire set of costs is paid, or none of them is paid. Partial payments aren’t allowed.

Since you can't pay the entire set of costs you pay none of them and you sacrifice Jötun Grunt.
