Po' is un troncamento or apocope which just means that it is a shortened form of poco and the correct way to write it is with the apostrophe (without the accent, you're making a geographical reference!)

So un poco means "a little" or "a bit", and un pochino means "a little bit". This is very similar to French un peu and un petit peu.

I believe mukkapazza is referring to the Po river: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Po_(river)

This seems like one where they should say "almost." It's a minor spelling error.

Duo usually accepts such minor mistakes, unless they change the meaning, just like in this case. As mukkapazza and jyseltz said, Po without an apostrophe is the name of a river, and I think that's a pretty big difference.

DL gave the translation "Ne voglio un pochino". What does this "Ne" mean?

It means "of it". In Italian you have to use this particle, you cannot just say "Voglio un po'", you have to specify, like in "Voglio un po' di pane", or you can use "ne" if it has already been mentioned or it's clear what you mean (as when you are pointing at it)

"Ne voglio un pochino." What does Ne mean and when do we use it?

Because it is incorrect, even if many Italians type it with the accent. The correct form is with the apostrophe.

How do you create the ' over the o?....its saying I'm wrong because I can't create that on my phone
That's a normal apostrophe, the same one you use in "I'm", nothing extraordinary.
