What a lumpy transaction! "I have a carrot in the sandwich. " I have a mental image of a large carrot stuck between two slices of bread. This translation is correct but not really English as spoken by a native speaker. " I have carrot (or some carrot) in the sandwich. " would be the normal way of describing an amount of substance in a sandwich.

How do you differentiate between having a carrot and some carrot in your sandwich?

You could say unu karoton for one carrot and iom da karoto for some carrot if you wanted to make the distinction.
Mi havas karoton could be either.
Why the emphasis is in the first syllable in the word "sandviĉo"? Must not it be on last but one syllable?

The emphasis is on the last-but-one syllable, yes. That is where I hear it, too.
There is a little emphasis on "sand-" in that recording but it seems to me that the one on "-viĉ-" is slightly stronger, as it should be.

The emphasis is on the penultimate syllable. It should aound like sandviiiiĉo. The emphasis is always always always on the penultimate. For example: Estas, mAnĝas, forgEsas, kAptas. Hope that helps.
