It's the first (m)

I think most Germans (including me) would pronounce this with the [ç] sound which is the same sound we use for German Michael. I have only seen Micha as a nickname for Michael in Germany.
You can listen to the German pronunciation of Michael here: http://www.nordicnames.de/Aussprache.html
There are two versions with different endings but the Micha part stays the same.

Since Micha is an OT name,

perhaps its use is more typical among Jewish people, whereas among the rest of population is more common Micha as nickname for Michael (and that is just a guess).

The German version of Wikipedia lists people with Micha as full name and as nickname:

Yes, that's possible.
