In helium-2, would each electron experience a single positive charge from the nucleus?
To answer this question, I am going to assume that a $\ce{^2He}$ nucleus actually exists long enough for two electrons to surround it — this is probably not a valid assumption since Webelements.com does not list $\ce{^2He}$ while it does list the isotopes $\ce{^6He}$ and $\ce{^8He}$ (although they admittedly have long half-lifes measured in tenths of seconds). But for our case, let us assume so.

The charge radius of a proton — our closest experimental measurement of its diameter, if ‘diameter’ is even a valid term at subatomic scales — is given on Wikipedia as $\pu{8.75e-16 m}$ or $\pu{0.875fm}$. At this point, take a step back to remember that the Bohr radius, approximately the most probable distance between the electron and the proton in a hydrogen atom, is $\pu{5.29e-11 m}$ or $\pu{52.9pm}$. This is a difference in scale by a factor of $10^5$.

Therefore, a reasonable assumption for the $\ce{^2He}$ nucleus — and indeed for practically any nucleus — is that it can be approximated by a dimensionless point of $+2$ charge and not any sphere, ovaloid, double-sphere or other three-dimensional object. Therefore, if we want to use quantum mechanics to calculate the wave function of $\ce{^2He+}$, we assume a spheric potential caused by a positive charge in the origin of a coordinate system; the value of the positive charge is $2e$ with $e$ being the elementary charge.

A two-electron system cannot, to the best of my knowledge, accurately be calculated. However, we may approximate it as just taking the wave function solutions of $\ce{^2He+}$ and adding another spin-opposite electron. (Then, we slightly adjust the energy values to account for electron-electron repulsion.) This way of approaching the problem shows that the helium atom should really better be considered a central positively charged dot with the outer space occupied by the negatively charged electrons, each of which see a $+2$ charge in the centre and an additional negative charge ‘buzzing around them’ (Note: physically incorrect macroscopic picture).

Replacing $\ce{^2He}$ (as is present in your question) with either of the stable isotopes $\ce{^3He}$ or $\ce{^4He}$ would not change the picture; the size of a neutron (see my note in the second paragraph on subatomic scales) is roughtly that of a proton. If anything, adding one or two neutrons to the two protons will make the nucleus smaller since neutrons increase the intranuclear attractive forces.



In many introductory chemistry books, the core and shell model of an atom and the relevant size differences are exemplified by macroscopic comparisons. My chemistry book offered: if you enlargen an atom so that it would fit the Munich Olympic Tower inside it, the nucleus would inflate to the size of a cherry stone, match head or something of that size. This again shows how good the assumption of poiut-sized charges in the nucleus is.
