[[+total]]? It's a automatic placeholder display the number result (cf. getResources)
I see. So you have a custom chunk tpl for the Articles getResources output, and you use that placeholder in the chunk tpl. What do you want to do with that "total" value?
If you want to display it, you can use an output modifier, the "div" modifier divides by two by default.

[[+total:div]] return 1,5
However, I can't have a float number because I compare [[+total:div]] to [[+idx]]
I still don't understand what you are trying to do. If you have three items, of course dividing by two will return 1,5 You can check if +idx is greater than or less than +total:div

I don't think this matters (I could be wrong). I think you'll get a string no matter what.

It's difficult to help because what you're describing is impossible. If returning $nb gives you three, returning (int)$nb would also give you three.
This code, even with the space in front of the number, prints 3:
$nb = " 3";
$total = (int)$nb;
echo $total;
This code also prints 3:
$nb = " 3.14";
$total = (int)$nb;
echo $total;
Something else must be happening. Maybe the $scriptProperties value is not set every time, possibly because of a cache issue.

With Articles, inside the main template (ex. ArticlesTpl), you just put [[*content]].
In your content's resource, you just put [[+articles]] and you customize with a chunk (ex. tpl.ArticlesRow).
This placeholder works like getResources except that in the chunk (inside tpl.ArticlesRow): [[+total]] doesn't work inside a snippet call. I think this is a bug.
So, to “solve” this issue, I choose to don't use this specific system of Articles and I call directly getResources inside my main template (ArticlesTpl). I create a snippet because I need to provide some situations, specially when I have a research (by author, by date…).

This could be a parsing order issue. If any of your tags has a ! at the front, that will delay processing of that tag and it may not be parsed at the time it's used.
It could also be a cache issue. If you look at the files in the cache, you may see your [[+total]] tag in there, unparsed. The placeholder won't be set because the snippet isn't actually run - it's results come from the cache.
You might try calling getResources and/or articles uncached:
[[!getResources]]
[[!articles]]
