One-shots don't have to be equipped to be used; in fact, almost all of them can be played from the hand.

You cannot use Instant Wall to force someone to Run Away who doesn't want to.

can one shot items be played against a monster even if it is carried i.e. turned sideways
the purpose of this is to reduce hand count,

so for example its my turn i play pretty balloons to the table but turn it sideways and i kick open a door
its a lvl 4 monster i am level 1
can i use the pretty balloons to win the fight??

and another question
i have two 1 handed items equipped, can i have another 1 handed item not equipped but carried(turned sideways)?

From the rules:

So, yes, you can use a one-shot Item you have carried on the table. As for turning them sideways, there's been no official declaration that one-shot Items must be turned sideways, as they need to be added to the combat to count. I usually turn them sideways, personally, but in the past, Andrew has stated that's not a necessity.

As for your additional question: Please don't tack on unrelated questions in the future, so as to prevent tangents and splits in the conversation. As for the answer: Yes. That's the whole point the rules try to make by saying that you can carry any number of small Items and that Items you can't use must be turned sideways. You can use two Hands of Items, but you could carry any number of Hand Items. You can use one Armor Items, but you can carry any number of Armor Items, and so on. Obviously, the one Big Item rule sticks, so you couldn't use a Big Item and carry a second Big Item.
