Answer

Yes, you can say 'glad for'. It's maybe less common that 'happy' or 'pleased', but all three adjectives can be used with 'for' in this way.

Answer

The two terms are almost interchangeable in terms of their tone, but it would be much more common to say "happy for".
You might say to a friend who just got engaged "I am happy for you".
