If a character is 2 spaces away and has melee reach 2 and attacks someone with evade, can that target roll for an evade?

Yes, they can. Evade says "nonadjacent", not "nonmelee."

But isn't the character considered adjacent for the purposes of making an attack? Wouldn't this fall into the same range as the Self-Destruct rulings in regards to Melee Reach? (I don't completely understand those rulings myself. Would someone please explain them?)

That's what I thought SignerJ. For purposes of the attack, they are adjacent. Maybe someone else will chime in :)

Card Text

"When attacking, this character treats enemies up to 2 squares away as adjacent."

Doesn't that mean I can not evade?

When utilizing Melee Reach, characters within X squares are considered adjacent for all purposes. Thus, Evade will not trigger as they are considered adjacent.

This has been incorrect since the 2007 rulebook change to Melee Reach.

They are treated as adjacent for ALL purposes (Evade, Self Destruct, Riposte) during the attack.
