Answer

Hi Siying!
How are you doing?

You're right. The word "row" has two different pronunciations. 
Row> Quarrel>raʊ
Row (of something):One possible definition is: A line of people standing or sitting next to each other in a line> N.A. English: roʊ/   British English: rəʊ/  
e.g.We sat in a row at the back of the classroom.

I hope this helps.
Keep up the good work!

Answer

"Having a row with someone"  is the same 'o' sound in the word cow.

"I had to row a boat to get home" then it would sound like the 'o' in the word know.

Hope this helps.
