Answer

I would say it depends. But most time it means I don't care or I don't give a fuck
Example: 
"Dad Maire is lost because I stole her map." "Good for you."
"Dad I get a new record in Dark soul speed run." "Good for you."
"Dad I have a new girlfriend."  "Hmm...Good for you."

Answer

Good for u meàns something which is positive and nice for u

Answer

Both are equally common, because the same phrase means something different when said either genuinely or sarcastically, as you noted.
I don't think it makes sense to ask which is more common, when you might as well consider them phrasal homonyms.
