Let's take some useful greetings and courteous expressions we will try to, focus on the expressions used in Egypt (so when I say "Colloquially people say such-and-such," I'm referring to Egypt). In some cases, I gave a standard variant and then detailed the colloquial usage below. Also, I gave everything in the masculine form, just because it's easier than including the feminine and plural forms for everything.

Welcome; hello: أهلا وسهلا (ahlan wa sahlan) Response: أهلا بيك (ahlan bīk)/Biki " to a Female" You can say أهلا وسهلا when welcoming someone (ex. to your country or home). And you can also say اهلا to mean just "hello."

Welcome; hello: مرحبا (marHaban) Response: مرحبا بيك (marHaban bīk – male ) (marHaban bīk”i” – female)

Good morning: صباح الخير (SabāH al-xeir) Response: صباح النور (SabāH an/en-nūr)

There are more colloquial variants on صباح الخير/النور that you can use, like صباح القشطة (SabāH il-'išTa - lit. morning of cream), صباح الفل (SabāH il-full - lit. morning of jasmine), and صباح الورد (SabāH il-ward - lit. morning of rose). They're a little "baladi" (i.e. used more by the rural and lower classes), but you can still use them to add some color to your speech.

Good evening: مساء الخير (masā' al-xeir) Response: مساء النور (masā' an-nūr) You can also say مساء القشطة, مساء الفل, and مساء الورد here too.

How are you?" is ازيك (izzayyak). You can also say, ازي الاحوال؟ (izzayy il-aHwaal?)

or ازي الصحة؟ (izzayy iS-SiHHa)

How are you? 

’ezzayyak? إزيك (to a male) ’ezzayyek? إزيك (to a female)

’ezzayyoku? إزيكو (to a group) ’ezzāy hàdretàk? إزي حضرتك (to an elder; hàdretek: female)

Fine, thank you. 

kowayyes šokràn كويس شكرا (male) kowayyesa šokràn كويسة شكرا (female) kowayyesīn šokràn كويسين شكراً (group) A far more common response to the question "how are you" is simply  to  thank God - el-hamde  lellah الحمد لله
