'(It was) nice to see you' or '(It was) nice seeing you' would be far more common. If you want to use glad, you could say 'I am glad to have seen you' I don't think 'glad seeing you' is really wrong ... it just sounds a little unusual.

Dear Mike,

Doesn't "Nice to see you" used during first visit as welcome note just like "How are you?","Glad to meet you"?

I think "Nice to MEET you" will be used as welcome note and "Nice to SEE you" at the end.
Am I right?

If you preface with 'it is' it's a greeting
If you preface with 'it was' it's a farewell

The 'is' or 'was' are more important in making these differences in meaning than 'meet' or 'see'.

You could, however, use 'have met' or 'have seen' to make the difference clear.

Cheers
