not feeling well, don't feel well?

1. I'm not feeling well (today).
2. I don't feel well (today).

Q) Is there any difference in meaning between #1 and #2?

As far as I see them, #1 means "I" am not okay physically: headache, stomachache etc.
I'm not sure how to say when someone is not okay mentally; e.g., she broke up with her boyfriend.

Not really. #1 perhaps holds out greater hope for a recovery later today.

I'm sorry to ask after you answered weeks back.

Q1) I was wondering if "today" is added to #2, does it still sound okay like #1?

Q2) Do #1 and #2 always mean "I" feel not good physically and not mentally?
In Korean, we accept those meaning as not well mentally, but English is not, I think.

You don't say like #1 and #2 if you want to say you're not well mentally

Yes, that is fine and common. We commonly use 'fell well/bad/etc' in both simple and continuous.
