So how do you use an "if then" sequence to detect if the lcd printed something Specific Such as "2A" or "1B"?

What lcd display do you have which prints something without you telling it what to print? Why do you think it did not print what you told it to print?
to do an different thing
Also the input is an 4x4 keypad

And is it possible for the Arduino to read the lcd and then do a different output?

Whether the Arduino can actually read from the 'lcd' would depend on the lcd in use, there are lots of different types.
But its a non-issue anyway, if the Arduino writes to the display, its knows what has been written, so there is no need to read back what the Arduino knows it has written.
I see nothing in the OP to suggest that the device writing to the LCD is also the device reading the LCD.
