I have never heard "por nada" in response to "gracias".
It's very common in Latin America.

The meaning is the same but the usual expression is "de nada". I have never heard "por nada" in response to "gracias".
We can say "gracias por nada" with an ironic and sarcastic nuance, but in a neutral context you don't have to say that.

De nada - you're welcome
Por nada - for nothing, meaning 'it was nothing', 'don't mention it'
