Where and when did Nietzsche's sister meet Hitler?

As to the final paragraph of your question: look at a book published by Prin Univ Press in 2015: "Nietzsche's Jewish Problem" ISBN 9780691167558
He actually seems to develop a much more sympathetic approach to the sister than you usually hear; it was her husband who was the rabid anti-Semite - she stepped back from it after his death by the 1890s - also never a member of the Nazi party - and never particularly vocal in her support of it (still, she no doubt jumped at the Hitler visit chance - she was an operator!) she also acknowledged apparently genuinely the place Jewish scholars had had in Nietzsche's belated "discovery" - etc etc -- also of note: the Nazi regime always had to treat Nietzsche very carefully - always wanted to "claim him" of course, but that was made difficult by the copious amount of plainly philo-semitism in his (particularly early) work - I recall lines in Daybreak to the effect of the Jews "inheriting" the Earth and the sooner the better (I summarize)- --the planned critical edition of his works (briefly?) underway in the mid-30s had to be quietly shutdown for that reason. -- Heidegger was a member of the board for the critical ed. - would love to know how he stirred to pot on that issue!

She died in Nov 1935. I think the meeting referred to above took place in the summer of 1935 - she was still quite spry aged 89 - but, definitely after Hitler became Chancellor (1933,34 are also possibilities) - but I think Hitler was too busy those years - long knives and all. By 35 he was more confident - and the answer above quite correct - it was understood by all to be supremely symbolic at the leader-level so to say - he was photographed in a richly staged way with Nietzsche's bust in the background.
I can say with more confidence that I think his sister presented Hitler with Nietzsche's walking stick (which he had mostly used in Switzerland and Italy - ha ha!)
Hitler himself - the great actor - probably never read a word of Nietzsche - and was proud of it!

It took place outside of the Nietzsche’s Archive Building in Weimar: Hitler kissed Elisabeth Foerster-Nietzsche's hand as a clue to acceptance of the Nietzsche's philosophy by Nazis. (Strathern, Paul., Nietzsche in 90 Minutes (Farsi translation), p44) (Photo1) (Photo2)
Unfortunately, I do not have English edition of the book in hand.
