$begingroup$
I found the gradient taking partial derivatives and got $nabla f = (1,2)$. I know that the directional derivative has to equal $2$ so if I set $(1,2)cdot (x,y) = 2$ , where $(x,y)$ is a unit vector, I get $x + 2y = 2$. I'm not sure how to proceed from here.

Unit vector implies $x^2 + y^2 = 1$. Now you've got two equations for your two unknowns.

A "direction" is nothing but a unit vector, since the way in which a vector is oriented depends only upon the way in which its unit vector is oriented.
Therefore, you may assume that $(x,y)$ has unit length i.e. $x^2+y^2 = 1$, and then find $x,y$ , being two equations of two unknowns.
(Note : the computations performed by you are correct till the end of your question)
