1, 1 & 1. Choosing between "a" and "an" depends entirely on pronounciation, and has nothing to do with spelling. If it's pronounced with a vowel sound, it's preceded by "an." A counter example - would you choose the phrase "an university" or "a university?"

Sentence one: I ate an M&M.
Sentence two: I'll see you in an hour.
Sentence three: He's an HR representative.
#1 to all of the sentences.

In each case sentence 1. is correct. 'a' and 'an' are determiners which come before a noun to give it definition. Specifically known as indefinite articles, they are used to refer to singular count nouns.
It is generally the case that 'an' is used before a word starting with a vowel sound. Even though 'h' and 'm' are obviously not vowels, in the examples above they sound like vowels - em & em, ower, aitch arr rep. That's why 'an' is more appropriate. All you have to do is say the sentences out loud and you know which is right.

1. for all of them... but even then I'm not sure. The word following each starts with a vowel sound, possibly justifiying the "an".

1, 1 and 1. (AN) always comes before a vowel sound or a silent "h"
