Answer 1

Maybe you can try this code

func _ready() -> void:
    var list = [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
    print( pick_rand_number(list, 9) )

func pick_rand_number(list: Array, amount: int) -> Array:
    randomize()
    list.shuffle()
    var new_list: Array = []

    assert(amount <= list.size(), "The number cannot be greater than the size of the Array")

    for i in range(amount):
        if new_list.size() <= amount:
            new_list.append(list[i])
    return new_list
