Technically, it's all about the intentions and actual movement of each party. The arrows below indicate the direction of the physical movement.
Ａさんに会った
Speaker--------->---------->----------->-------------> A's place or Random place
*Includes accidental bumping on the street.

Ａさんと会った Two parties wanted to meet each other.
Speaker--------->---------> Place X <--------<---------- A
*Place X can be either the Speaker or A's place. Point is they both agreed to meet.
This means Pitt wanted to meet you as well. The two contacted each other and met up someplace.
