Why is it "bitterly disappointed" but "highly successful"? Can I say "highly disappointed"?

Good question! Collocations don't always follow strict grammar rules; they are just words that native speakers have naturally used together for a long time. People usually use "highly" with positive words (highly successful, highly recommended) and "bitterly" with negative feelings. menu_book

Yes, it is incorrect. It is always "responsible FOR" something. Try to memorize the preposition and the adjective together as one sound! record_voice_over

They mean almost exactly the same thing! You can use them interchangeably in most sentences. Both of them always use the preposition "on". link
