Can I point to a single number and I just want to use the only two-word question ‘What number?’ to ask someone about a number:
1. Can I use that question to ask about a large number in the billions, like:
A: What number?
B: 1,223,546,457
2. Can I use the question to ask about a decimal number like:
A: What number?
B: 1.33333
Is that correct?
Is it weird?

It does sound a bit strange. It'd be better to say:
What's this number? or What number is this?
or
How do you say this number?
After the first question, for subsequent numbers you can just say:
And this?

You cannot say that. It has nothing to do with numbers. You cannot point to ANYTHING and say that. For example, you cannot
...point to a house and say "What house?"
...point to a man and say "What man?"
...point to a building and say "What building?"
"What house" can be spoken in English, but only in proper context. For example:
Bill: "I live in a house".
Jack: "What house?"

If you're asking someone to identify a number you are pointing to, you might say, "What is this number?" or "What number is this?"
