"Important to" Vs "Important for"
I'm really confused of the word "important" with prepositions.
Please kindly explain me.
1) What's the difference between "important to" and "important for"?
Which one should I use in which situation?
2) And is preposition the same if I use "matter" instead of "important"?
E.g. It isn't important for me ( It doesn't matter for me)
It isn't important to me ( It doesn't matter to me)

The second example is correct. It doesn't matter to me, it isn't important to me. Those are both correct
IMPORTANT
of much or great significance or consequence:
<em style="color: rgb(74, 74, 74);">an important event in world history</em>
mattering much (usually followed by <em style="color: rgb(26, 26, 26);">to</em>):
<em style="color: rgb(74, 74, 74);">details important to a fair decision.</em>
