What is the meaning of in/within/by two days?

Suppose today is Monday,

See you in two days. >>>  It is impossible to meet you on Tuesday or Wednesday  >>> See you after two days. 

See you within two days. >>>  Maybe meet  you tomorrow or on Wednesday. >>> See you again before Thursday.

Could anyone tell me my understanding of these are correct or not?

If today is Monday and I say "See you in 2 days" that means I will see you Wednesday.  It is more common to say "the day after tomorrow" instead of 2 days.

If today is Monday and I say "See you within 2 days" that means I will see you before Wednesday.  I would never say "see you within 2 days" though, I would say "see you sometime before Wednesday."
