What’s the difference between “u” sound (as in us) and “a” sound (as in ago)?
Question 2:
What’s the difference between “o”  sound (as in got) and “o” sound (as in on)?

Answer

#1 "us" [əs] and "ago" [əˈɡoʊ] have the same "uh" vowel (schwa [ə] a soft, short "uh") in General American English (which is spoken in most of the United States and Canada).  I can't address the British pronunciation.

#2 "got" and "on" have same "aw" vowel [ɑ] in General American English.  A narrow phonetic transcription shows that the vowel is nasalized [ɑ̃] in "on" but not nasalized [ɑ] in "got."

Answer

There is none... well, to my native ears. 😅

There may be a formal nuance but the International Phonetic Alphabet will help you clarify.

Answer

If there is a difference, most native speakers can't hear it.

If it's any consolation, my American ears have a hard time recognizing the difference between Mandarin 去 (qu) and 吃 (chi).
