Question

Answer

'Site' is (architecture) to situate or place a building while spot is to see , find; to pick out, notice, locate, distinguish or identify.

Answer

A spot and a site can be the same as Rich said.
However, generally a spot is a very small area whereas a site is a larger area.

We may sit in a shady spot under a tree when we visit a tourist site, historic site or a building site.

Answer

"Spot" feels a lot more casual.  Here in the United States we use it to casually for places, especially with positive adjectives:

- I found a nice spot for lunch
- This is a good spot to sit down

"Site" is often used in common phrases, like:

- Camp site
- Tourist site
- Construction site

But "site" isn't used very casually like "spot".
