Answer 1

The only time I have seen this used together is as the name of an English language programme from the BBC. It is a programme about immigrants talking about their first impressions of the country, Britain, and how those impressions changed. it isn't a common expression.

Answer 2

"First sight" means the first time you see something.

"Second thoughts" means that you are considering changing your mind or that you regret a decision.

In combination, it sounds like a bad start to a blind date, but it could have other meanings depending on context.

Answer 3

I haven't heard this in combination.

And rather than first sight, I find the more common expression is "first impression".
