**안녕 is a low form of "Hi or Hello?". 안녕 is used among friends or to people who are younger than you.
**you can say "하이" among friends.
**you can say just "야" which means 'hey', or you can call to friends' name "지은아!" instead of '안녕?' among close friend.

**안녕하세요 is honorific form of "Hello?".
**to acquaintance

*안녕하십니까?
**안녕하십니까 is very polite form of "Hello?".
**used for busuness

*밥 먹었어? / 식사 하셨어요?
**literally means "Have you eaten?" or "Did you have breakfast/lunch/dinner?"
**but the meaning is same as "How are you?"
**밥 먹었어? is low form, and 식사하셨어요? is honorific form.
**actually they don't wonder if you had a meal or not. and it doesn't mean "Let’s go to eat something". So, when someone ask you '식사 하셨어요?', you can just answer "네 (Yes)".
 
*어디가? / 어디가세요?

**잘 지내셨어요? 어떻게 지내셨어요? are honorific form.
