Is number before a noun pronoun
I'd like to know if a number before a noun is considered as a pronoun as well. For examples,
"2 persons", "5 cars", and so on.

What do you mean by "as well"? Your examples contain no pronouns.

In those cases, it's modifying the noun, so it's an adjective.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/two
two adjective
ˈtü
Definition of two (Entry 1 of 3)
1 : being one more than one in number
2 : being the second —used postpositively
section two of the instructions
Where numbers function somewhat like pronouns is where the noun omitted and the number acts as the noun. For instance, "You have 5 cars. I have 3." There, 3 functions as a pronoun by taking the place of the full phrase "3 cars".
