An AQUEOUS solution of a Bronsted acid will have an excess of H+, compared to OH-. (remember that the self-ionization of water H2O<=> H+ +OH- or if you prefer 2H2O<=>H3O+ +OH- is an equilibrium so you always have some OH- present). However solutions are always electricaly neutral which means that the total number of charges is 0. The extra charges of H+ are balanced by the anions of the acid that dissociated/ionised in water.
When you are using Lewis acids in organic solvents, then there are no H+.

Usually, but not universally. For example, a solution of aluminum ions is acidic because of the extremely high charge density of Al3+ ions, which approximates the effect of loose protons.

1. Colorless since excess hydogen ions makes the pH acidic 2. Pink since Hydroxide ions are basic 3. Pink since it would form the hydroxide salt of the alkali metal thus be basic.

Yaa. And an basic solution have excess OH ions

I guess so - we were taught to say that an acid has a greater number of hydronium ions than hydroxide ions.

Yes, Acid is defined as a proton donor(H+) in a chemical reaction.
