Why do I sometimes see "now" written as "kounye a", other times as "koulye a"?

The correct spelling is "kounye a".

Some people, depending on which area of Haiti they're from, say this word as "koulye a". It's an "old" Creole form that you will find in ancient Haitian  Creole literature, theater pieces, poems, and/or songs.
