Good night (using two words) is the proper form. However, good-night (hyphenated) can also be correct in the proper context.

Example:

-A farewell or leave-taking: He said his good-nights before leaving the party.

-Compare this to actual farewell address: He said good night before leaving the party.

The confusion is generally with good-night and goodnight because both are correct. When using it as a salutation, good night (two words) is always correct; however, in other context as in the example above you have a choice between leaving it one word or hyphenating it.

Do you say someone to say goodnight to or too?

Either could be used depending on context. For example, "I said goodnight to Mary" or "I said goodnight and Mary said goodnight, too." The first sentence implies that I directed my words toward Mary and not toward someone else. The second sentence means that both Mary and I said goodnight, without specifying to whom we addressed our words. You would generally say goodnight to someone. You would rarely use the word "too" after goodnight. If you did, it would mean "also."
