Ο άνδρας is a masculine word - check the Tips and notes under Basics 1. Therefore it goes with the masculine indefinite article ένας.

The rules on article usage are broadly similar to those in English -- ο άντρας = the man; ένας άντρας = a man.
A man - ο άντρασ ... İ translate from english to greek and it's the wrong answer. ένας άντρας can be also translated like ''one man''?
ο άντρας is "the man" and not "a man".
ένας άντρας is "a man" or "one man".

But where do you see 'ένας' for a/one? This is the guideline: https://www.duolingo.com/skill/el/Basics-1/tips-and-notes
I suppose it's the 'cases', but that says:
Nominative singular ο άντρας = the man η γυναίκα = the woman Genitive singular του άντρα = of the man της γυναίκας = of the woman Accusative singular τον άντρα = the man τη γυναίκα = the woman Vocative singular άντρα = man γυναίκα = woman
So where do I find the indefinete article (isn't that what it is called? - What I mean is, where do I find out how to say a for masculine, feminine and neuter? And does it also differ for different casus? (Nominative, Genitive, Accusative etc.)
But where do you see 'ένας' for a/one?
It's in the Basics 2 Tips and notes (https://www.duolingo.com/skill/el/Basics-2/tips-and-notes) :)
Why is it ένας instead of μία??
Because the word άντρας is masculine and not feminine.
ένας is used before masculine nouns, μία before feminine nouns, and ένα before neuter nouns.
Is man pronounced ántras or ádras? Or are they both correct?
ándras and ádras are both possible, ántras with a "t" sound is not.
