OK, where does  IWebBrowser2 com from?
This is how I get my handle to IE:
    I ran makepy.py for shdocvw.dll
    import win32com.client
    ie = win32com.client.Dispatch("InternetExplorer.Application.1")

While I'm at it, navigating and getting a doc is like so:
    ie.Navigate("<some uri>")
    doc = ie.Document
