What do the numbers 2 & 3 mean (duplet/tuplet/finger indication?) in this first bar of a song?
I was looking for a simple anime song piece where I encounter this piece whose first bar does not make sense to me (I uploaded the first bar picture ).
Especially what is meant by 2 and 3 at the top of the first two notes? Is it tuplet or finger indication? 
Thank you.

I disagree. The 2 is a fingering notation; the 3 is over the middle and in a different font and size, so I can tell that the 3 is the indication to play a triplet (and the measure only adds up for a triplet). So that 3 doesn't necessarily mean to finger the first A with the 3rd finger, though you may wish to.
The notation means:
- Play the F♯ with your 2nd finger
- Play those three eighth notes as eighth note triplets
(This is not super clear upon viewing. Good question!)

I thought so about 3 being a triplet, otherwise measure does not add up just like you have said. I was confused because of 2 as I did not notice the front difference.

It's not clear what "I disagree" is responding to. Answers should stand on their own, not be phrased as responses to other answers (as I'm guessing you're doing here). Even if you're contradicting OP's guess as to the answer, you should state clearly what you're addressing there.

The 2 is a fingering indication.
The 3 (which is in italics and a larger font) is indicating that the three notes are a triplet - so the first three notes take one beat.
Hope that helps.
