Can I just say 题 to mean 'question'?
No — 题 is a test item or topic; 问题 is the question or issue.
题 is the thing printed on a page: a math problem, an exam item, a topic. 问题 is the thing you ask or discuss, like a question or an issue. Raise your hand in class and you have a 问题; stare down at a worksheet and that's a 题. Think of 题 as the stuff on paper, 问题 as the stuff in the air.
| Dimension | Natural | Avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Asking a teacher | 我有一个问题。 | 我有一个题。 |
| Doing homework | 我在做题。 | 我在做问题。 |
| Exam item | 这个题我会做。 | 这个问题我会做。 |
Does 没问题 mean 'you're welcome'?
No — it means 'sure' or 'no problem' when agreeing to a request.
没问题 is a green light: yes, I can do it; yes, that works. It answers a favor, a request, or a plan. It does not usually answer 谢谢. For thanks, use 没事 or 不客气. Saying 没问题 after 谢谢 sounds like you're still agreeing to do something, not waving off gratitude.
| Dimension | Natural | Avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Agreeing to a favor | 没问题，我来帮你。 | 不问题，我来帮你。 |
| Answering thanks | 没事 / 不客气。 | 没问题。 |
| Confirming a plan | 没问题，明天见。 | 不问题，明天见。 |
