I don't think there are any special rules for "too". Just follow the normal rules for when to use a comma. Here there is no need for one, so "Nice to meet you too" is correct.
In all the examples I can think of at the moment, when "too" comes at the end of the sentence no comma is necessary:
"I want a hamburger too."
"Is he coming too?"
"My wallet is missing too!"

The comma is often omitted even by professional editors. No one is likely to notice the loss. Often it depends on which rule someone remembers when they edit.
If you use too to mean in addition to something else , then no comma is necessary.
=I respect you, and I love you too.
If you use too in the more common way, in response to another person and meaning I love you, as well, then there comma is required.
[Speaker 1] I love you.
[You] I love you, too.
Both usages mean also but with a nuanced difference. The 'too' in I love you, too is the main focus of the sentence as it repeats something that's already been said. It indicates contrast between two thoughts.
To make the different meanings more apparent, short of additional context, you’d have to be more explicit:
= I, too, like apples and bananas.
= I like not only apples but bananas too.

Does this mean that the comma is optional regardless of the formal or informal situation?

Yes, the context (formal or informal) doesn't matter in this case. I would never use a comma there.

@sitrajesus Yes.
Grammar: In the case of these phrases, 'too' is not a clause that exists on its own.
It is normally used without the comma, but can be added stylistically to convey a certain meaning (usually informally or dialogue such as a literary text- where you don't have to follow such rules).
