"By any chance" is a way of asking a question gently. So, I might ask "Is this your coat, by any chance?" If I wanted to not be intrusive, and also sound a little fancy. :D
"Not him, by any chance" means that the person who is talking is asking if it is this person ("him").
So, did that answer all your questions, by any chance? :)
