In a while or for a while

Is there a difference between the two sentences:

I haven't seen you for a while now.
I haven't seen you in a while now.

Thanks!

I was also wondering if there is a difference between these:

We have been encountering this problem every month.

We encounter this problem every month.

We have encountered this problem every month.
We're encountering this problem every month.
