What is an appropriate response to someone saying "merci" in French?

When someone says “merci” we says

We say “Il n’y a pas de quoi" (Don’t mention it) in casual responses.

We say "De rien" (It’s nothing) in casual responses.

Is it common for Americans to feel "trapped" due to the size and distance of their country from other countries/continents? Is this feeling an exaggeration or a reality?

We say "Avec plaisir" (With pleasure) in formal responses

We say “Pas de problème” (No problem) in casual responses.

We say “Je vous en prie" (You’re welcome) in formal responses

If Russia needs the resources to fund the war in Ukraine, why doesn’t it throw open its doors to visa free western tourism? Enough people would be interested, & it would start to get some hard currency as €, CHF, £, SEK, $, JPY in the tills at shops.
