No, the word 'a' is an INDEFINITE ARTICLE, a word used before a noun to identify a singular, general noun.

The indefinite articles are a (used before a noun starting with a consonant sound), and an(used before a noun starting with a vowel sound). Examples:

I saw a puppy in the pet store window.

I saw an eagle this afternoon.

A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence. Example:

I saw a puppy in the pet store window. It seemed to call my name. (the pronoun 'it' takes the place of the noun 'puppy' in the second sentence)

No, a is not a pronoun but an article, it can be called a modifier(adjective). but "a" cannot replace a noun, so it is not a pronoun.

Only when a word replaces a noun, can it be a pronoun.
