Call and ask if it will be a problem. Maybe they won't care at all. If they do care, it's up to you to decide if you'll do it anyway or not.

If you were being laid off, would your employer give you 2 weeks notice?

True. I had coworkers give more than 2 weeks notice and some coworkers gave less.

I have always given the intial notice in person (which includes by phone where I have worked 100s of miles away from my supervisor), then follow up very soon thereafter with a formal letter. That shows you to be professional and also protects both sides by being clear about when notice was providesd andwhen your last day was to be.

Get your successor fully trained ASAP. Then let your manager know the successor's training went quicker than anticipated and you'd like to head out a day earlier than planned.

Realistically, 9 days vs 10 days with an outgoing employee is not a big difference. Perhaps you could offer to do "four 10s" for the remaining days, so it's the same number of hours.
PTO, if applicable in your state, must be paid out by law. There are huge fines for screwing someone around on their final checks. Doubt any issue there.

OP - just be up front with your employer. If leaving on good terms shouldn’t be an issue. Don’t be a flake by not communicating and don’t burn a bridge.

Good luck in your new job.

It's ancient history by now. Too bad the OP hasn't returned to share how they handled it and how it resulted.

You could leave without notice before your notice of resignation is fulfilled. You risk losing all separation compensation. Honor your commitments.

What separation compensation? In my experience, separation compensation is when the company lays you off involuntarily not when you leave on your own and give notice.
