- "I saw it by myself" is not a common thing to say, and does not fit your description.
- It could be understood to mean that you were alone when you saw it, though it is not a great way of expressing that.

TitiwangsaJack: I saw it by myself. Keith: Did you see it by yourself?However you word it, Keith's question would be odd. He is questioning what he has just been told.
