"to" and "too" and "two"に、発音の違いがありますか？

Question

Answer

There is no difference.

Answer

No, all three are pronounced the same, but, as I'm sure you know, all three words have a different meaning.

Answer

The main difference you should focus on is that "to" always has a weak accent, whereas "two" and "too" have strong accents.  So yes, we can hear the difference but it's a matter of stress; not the actual pronunciation of to/two/too, which is the same.

Answer

They are not pronounced quite the same. 
The preposition "to" is pronounced the same as the words "too" and "two" only when it is followed by a word beginning with a vowel. It is pronounced as [tu:]. 
Before a word beginning with a consonant it is pronounced [tә], whereas the "o" is neutral or "schwa" sound.
