Answer

In that case I suppose that would mean if someone sees another person!

Answer

It's more used when you see a person out of the ordinary. For example, if you see a celebrity buying groceries you can say that "brad pitt was spotted buying bread and vegetables". Or if you see someone in the middle of the a big crowd.

You don't say "I spotted John" if you run into him on the streets.
