Also: Is it normal for Russian men to say "Я сильно по тебе соскучился" to each other?

It's normal. If you're gay. )
Seriously, if it's your father, or brother - it's ok.
Otherwise - too intimate.

Could you tell this person that you 'miss' him?

Whey not? If they haven't seen each other for a very long time it's normal.

+1. quite neutral phrase.

That's what I thought. A friend of mine from Moscow just wrote to me saying that, and I was like "...?" Thanks, though.

It may mean that either he treats you as a very close friend and is trying to show how valuable you are for him (which is ok, I don't know anything about your relations), or that he is really a very tender and friendly person (what happens from time to time), or that he is a gay.

Yeah, I think it's the same thing in English, exactly.

"Тысячу лет не виделись! Где ты пропадал? Рад тебя видеть!" will be much better (and the emotion is the same).

"Сколько лет, сколько зим!"

"Старина! Сто лет не виделись!" would be better. The phrase you wrote is suitable to man-woman dialogue, not man-man, if they're not gays.
