1) Google picked it up because it is linked from somewhere. Maybe you posted it on social networking site or had a test site which that was getting indexed by Google. In Google, search using the following to find what other links have been indexed.
site:www.yourwebsite.com
2) Best way to stop search engines picking it up is by using robots.txt file. If you have a Google webmaster account you can generate one in there for free. For more information read this helpful guide by Google; Block or remove pages using a robots.txt file
2 a) If you want everything blocked (users as well) you can use a 301 redirect
