I know, that both are honorifics, but I thought that いらっしゃいます is more often
used when expressing state-of-beeing, aka "Is Tanaka-sama here?" and なさる when
expressing doing: "Can someone do it?".I can vaguely guess that いらっしゃい is more
polite and can be added with ~te, but I come often to see that in above
situation both words can be used.How can I differentiate them between one
another?

question
honorifics
いらっしゃいます and なさる difference
These are honorific forms of different verbs, and the degree of respect is not
relevant.

いらっしゃる is an honorific version of いる, くる and (で)ある/だ.

>   * 先生は部屋にいます。 → 先生は部屋にいらっしゃいます。  
>  Sensei is in the room.
>   * 社長は今日ここに来ます。 → 社長は今日ここにいらっしゃいます。  
>  President will come here today.
>   * この方は王女です。 → この方は王女でいらっしゃいます。  
>  This person is a princess.  
>  (This cannot be used with inanimate objects. これはリンゴでいらっしゃいます is incorrect.)

なさる is an honorific version of する and やる.

>   * どうしますか？ → どうなさいますか？  
>  What would you do?
>   * 社長は今日ここを訪問します。 → 社長は今日ここを訪問なさいます。  
>  President will visit here today.
