why observation suggested to those who already see?

I would say bobbie is the closest so far.
To me, see is simply to notice in your vision.
To observe would be to see AND study, ponder or watch.
PS> AS to your second question, perhaps the person suggesting this wants the other person to REALLY look and understand, not just notice.

the difference is about 3 minutes, being seen suggests a random glance over but to be observed suggests that one has looked long enough to form an opinion, rendered if they like them or not and figured out what that person is doing at the time

It's the same as the difference between hear and listen or see and watch.
I may hear background noise, but I listen to music. I may see the bookcase out of the corner of my eye, but I watch a movie.
Observe has an even more specific meaning than watch; it means to watch with a special purpose in mind.

observation is when you intentionally watch a person and see is when you just turned and see a person

No difference...just two ways of saying the same thing.

Your question can't be worded properly.
