My answer will not be the best, but those are two very different things in American English, so I wanted to make that clear.

sweety / sweetie =
"used for talking to someone you love, such as a child, partner, or good friend
（爱称或昵称）亲爱的
a very pleasant or kind person"
和蔼可亲的人，讨人喜欢的人

British English
sweetie
"3
[count] British : a candy or sweet — used especially by children or when speaking to children"
