How does it work if i want to use counter-offensive and one step ahead in the same turn for my 'nids?

They don't interact at all. Counter Offensive only works after an enemy unit has fought, so once you fight with your unit with One Step Ahead, you can't activate Counter-Offensive.

Im not sure If i undestand. Do my unit get to fight first in the enemy fight phase even though the enemy charged? Unless they have a ability that lets them fight first?

Read the last line of One Step Ahead.

Once the enemy has fought with a charging unit you may activate Counter Offensive. This will allow you to fight with one of your units next. After this the enemy may fight again with another unit, then you may use your unit with One Step Ahead as per the alternating choices rule. Thus using both you can have a unit you control go 2nd and 4th in the sequence, which can be very useful if charged by 3 or more units.
