Difference between "one" and "a"

What's the difference between "one" and "a"?

- I have a question.
- I have one question.

- I have two questions. (this sentence is correct, isn't it?)

I heard second sentence is wrong. I don't know why?
please tell me the difference.

All the sentences are fine. With 'one', the speaker is subconsciously counting; with 'a', s/he is not.
